UPDATE: 'We never gave up on her': Couple spend 8-months tracking down an elusive mama cat and her spicy kittens, give all 3 felines a furrever home

Cats are elusive little critters. As every cat lover knows, a cat will only allow a human to capture it on their own terms. There's no tricking a trickster.

However humans can do their best to outsmart a cat, using tried and true methods like treats, catnip, and the promise of a forever home. This couple in our next story played the long game with a family of stray cats that lived in the golf course behind their house. After spending almost a year attempting to befriend a mama cat, who repeatedly found herself getting knocked up, they finally were able to coax the kitty family out of the wild—promising copious amounts of tuna in return!

Nothing speaks to a cat quite like the deliciousness of canned wet food, so for this diligent cat lover, it became her weapon of choice. Keep scrolling for the whole story (and the update) about a lady cat whose life was forever changed by the kindness of hoomans.
