Here is some information of how to gather up a stray dog or cat or a lost dog or cat. Lets start with grabbing a cat.
First you have to spot the cat and if your in a car park as slowly as you can or if your walking stop slowly. Next if the cat is scared it will hiss, arch its back, have fluffy fur, growl, meow madly, or even run or attack. So be careful. If it seems nice walk slowly up to it and see if you can pick it up or put it in a basket or bag or even a blanket and small box. If it is scared try to walk slowly but if it looks like it will attack back away or when it looks like it will bolt. If you do get attacked please go home and wash very well and bandage it with cream. It probably will have fleas or mites or other bad problems. So you might need to go to the doctor. If it swells its common. If it bolts and then stops somewhere good when you know it. If it went up a tree or you lost it then contact some animal specialists they could track it down and get it. If it doesn't bolt and just hisses or the other things above then just stay there. Here are ideas for a cat that does these things above.
1. The first thing you could do is ask anybody in the neighborhood if they have cat food and a basket and explain about the cat. Next try to coax the cat to the food. By stepping up to it and handing it. Let it trust you. Watch it eat right by your side so it will know you won't hurt him/her. Then when it finishes coax him to follow you with another piece of cat food into the basket or bag or box. Then get into your car or walk your way to your house. If somebody is allergic to cats in your house ask somebody else if they can take the cat if they can't hold him for a few days then bring it in a room where the person who is allergic might not get his allergic reactions to burst.
2. Another idea is to make a path of cat food to the car or your house or your bag. That will work mostly. Wait for him if he is way back eating cat food or treats.
3. Toys might work and playing is fun. So drag the cat with a toy into the bag or house or car.
4. You can call some people who deal with cats that are stray or lost. Tip: If it has a collar call the number.
5. Another way to make a cat nip line some cats will play with cat nip and lose interest so you can pick it up. Or some cats eat it so you can make a path first try to sprinkle some cat nip with the cat to see what it will do.
6. Do something interesting to the cat and it might come to you to see whats happening. Like move your hand like a mouse. Or make a shadow with your foot or hand or head and wiggle. That might interest the cat.
7. You can set up a trap with cat food inside and the lever will clamp down when the cat is in.
8. You can get strong smelling chicken nuggets or turkey or roast beef if it works and the cat might not resist the smell of food.
9. Stroke the fur and talk to it. It might calm down and you can pick it up.
10. Also you could even put out human food and it might smell good but don't make it eat it.
11. Drag the cat food so it could probably chase it for the food and you might get him in the bag or your house or in the car.
