How do I attract the stray cat in my area

[Deleted member 133647]

I've seen it like three times in the years I've lived here. Pretty sure It doesn't have a tail but it was far away. It seems to be chilling in the woods, prolly getting its food from there. I'm trying to like find it and tame it. how do I do that.

If you've only seen it a few times, it probably has a wild personality and can't be tamed.

Food is the way to get a cat to stay around. Feed it in a particular area and it will return there for more.

Food, calmness and patience. Cats like quiet people and food. If your house is close enough to the park, you can gradually lure the cat to your home and lock it there. If you just want to make a friend, it's enough for you to take some food with you and be close to fluffy.

Make “tsk tsk tsk” noises when you see it from now on

As the replies already said here, food. Try to attract em with the usual "pspspsps" sound. If it comes close, drop the food and keep your distance, but make sure it sees you until it's comfortable in the spot where you lured it with food. Rinse and repeat. Eventually, that cat's gonna look for you itself.

Signed, me, who for some reason, have 4 cats waiting for me every after dinner. These fellas even left me some dead rats at our doorstep from time to time.

PS - I don't own them. They just like loitering around our front yard.

Show yourself to it over and over till it becomes weird for you not to be there.

Leave out some cat food outside your house each day until it comes regularly then just sit out with the food at the usual time it will come. It will eventually warm up to you being around and will probably sit on your lap if it warms up to your presence. You can then take it inside to show it it's new home.

Or you set out a coon trap with some food in it and catch the sucker. After feeding it inside your home for a few days it will eventually see it as a home to come back to to sleep. The other possibility is that is dangerous so I would be careful.

Do you want to eat it?

There is a pack of coyottes that wander my neighborhood, if this works out lemme know so I can try too.

Leave it food for a while and, if it sees you putting out the food, it should allow you to come nearer to it eventually
