Does anyone know how to catch a kitten?

Someone has dumped (we assume) a tiny little kitten out here. But whenever we walk up to it, it runs away (and is apparently faster than we are) the rest of the time it's going window to window crying for what we assume would be it's mother...

We just aren't sure what to do. We've provided food and water, but it's so very young! And my cat isn't being helpful, while she's curious, she's making no effort to go get the baby ..

How do we get it and bring it inside?

Happened to me once. I couldn't catch it. In the end I left the back door open and a few minutes later it walked in. I didn't have a cat at the time though.

    French vanilla is the one I use the most. I got two 1oz bottles of that and put one in a tub in the fridge. Since then I've done the same with a few others. Some flavors at BCF you have to get a more expensive mail option for larger bottles and they give you a special deal if you get multiple small bottles. I think that's for stuff with alcohol in it. Generally it's more expensive to get small bottles but flavoring isn't a big expense for me so I don't worry about that.
    On second thought I'm thinking a mix of 1oz and 2 oz bottles. A definite 2oz would be the one flavor in my ice cream base that's the biggest ingredient. I think most others are fine with 1oz.

    We found our kitty hiding under the shed and had to catch her too.
    1. You can contact local animal rescues - they may be willing to give you a trap. At the time, they didn't have one available for us, but they said they'd come for a visit after we caught her.
    2. We bought a squirrel size trap, left it out on our patio by the shed, put some tuna fish on a plate inside it, covered it with a towel and the following morning we had a tiny kitty inside. The rescue people came to our house with food, supplies and a large dog size cage to get us started. Unfortunately, they didn't have any room at the time to take the kitty in. We've now had her for 15 yrs!

    Good luck!

    Good afternoon folks
    I have started to sand down the top of the house wall, a lot of the .... work is above shoulder height. I am beginning to feel the age well in my body.

    Well, since I worked so hard with Øsa on Sunday, I found out that I needed a gift myself, so this one came home with me.

    Yesterday I mixed FLV Mango, Pineapple, Passion with my steeped pudding base. Trying a bit today I"m not really tasting any fruit. I either need to let my pudding steep with the fruit or I need to add fruit. I used 1% Any thoughts?

    I wouldn't even be able to detect 1%. Maybe 2%?

    Are you going to keep the kitty?

    Apparently. My husband won't take it to the humane society because "they'll kill him"...

    So... I guess we have a cat. My cat is angry at me atm so I don't yet know how this will work out (she's taken to hissing at the kitten). Right now my husband's being stubborn, my cat is being stubborn, and I'm in too much pain after bringing the kitten in to fight with either one... haha

    I just found out I have ergophobia and I think I've had it for the last 10 years.

    I had to google that one. I think I may have it also.

    I have to stop looking at pictures of the white one like you got. It makes me want to order one but I already have two in other colors.
