Mtn.Mike Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I don't have a fiver but my friend has a Jayco 32' and somehow a cat got into the substructure and is between the floor and the lower part of the 5er.Does anyone have any idea how to get the cat out and where the cat might have entered?The 5er's bay doors were all closed at the time.Thanks, Mike 2004 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 40 PDQ being pushed by a 2013 MX-5 Miata.

Ray,IN Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 The cat has a way in/out because it must have water to live. A cat can get in a hole as small as its head, look for a loose section that can be pulled down enough for it to squeeze its head into. another option to sealing the entry point is a small animal live trap. Any farm store sells them. Place an open can of cat food inside,set trap under trailer and wait. You may catch 3 or 4 before you get the right one, but you'll know a feral cat when you see one. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

LFDR3116 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 You could try catnip or food/treats outside where you can watch from inside. If it comes out - does it look like it is nursing kittens? It could be a mama with babies still depending on her. Pat DeJong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 All too many fivers have a hole or two that critters can enter, look t the area around the hitch and under the slides as the most likely areas. Getting the cat out shouldn't bee too hard, it will come out to eat or drink at some point so the issue will be preventing it from coming back in. You could probably hurry it along with a bowl of water and an open can of cat food left near enough that the smell would be enticing.

bigjim Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 In trying to trap consider that you might trap other cats/critters in the area attracted to your bait. I don't have a thought at the moment how you will limit it to the one you are after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarome Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I don't know where you're located or what the "critter" situation is there, but I would be hesitant to do the "bait it out" thing. You might attract more attention from the local wildlife than you bargained for (bobcat, skunk, rats..). Depending on what y'all have stored down below, I might consider smoking it out or using a spray bottle with a water/vinegar (or similar) mix to mist the air in the suspect area... leaving a clear path of escape of course.
