To avoid injury and successfully catch a stray cat, here are some suggestions:
Understand your cat's behavior: Stray cats can become alert and aggressive because they live in the wild. Understanding your cat's behavior and Xi can help you get closer to them and reduce the risk of injury.
Use bait: You can use food as bait to lure stray cats to you. Gradually increase the amount of food you give your cat so that it gradually develops trust and dependence on you.
Use appropriate tools: Use gloves or a thick cloth to protect your hands from being scratched by cats. Additionally, stray cats can be more easily caught using proper catching tools, such as cat trap cages or net pockets.
Ask for help: If you are inexperienced in catching stray cats or feel unsafe, you can seek help from a professional. Animal control departments or animal protection organizations can often provide guidance and support.
Respect the cat's feelings: When catching stray cats, respect their feelings and space. Avoid using violence or sudden movements to capture them. Give cats enough time and space to reduce their nervousness and aggression.
Most importantly, be patient and loving when dealing with stray cats. Although they may not be familiar with humans, with kind treatment and attention, you can help them build trust and find a permanent home.
