If you can get close to it while it's eating, you can try and catch it using a pillow case. If you can't get close to it, you can try some live animal trap

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

If you get eye contact with it, blink clearly and slowly to it. look for it to blink back. It's a sign of trust, and it will make it easier to get close to it.

while (CurrentSelectedTarget.Status == ShipStatus.Alive) {

     _myShip.FireAllGuns(CurrentSelectedTarget);

Never fear, the cat carrier is at the ready. Now all that is needed is the tuna and a camera to snap pictures of the omg cute kitty.

We, the whiney EVE player base, demand PICTURES!

Or... you know what, forget the pictures. We want a Kiteh Trap Live Stream!

Laying claim to Out of Pod Experience since 2007, plain and simple. Keep the trash out of [u]Out Of Pod Experience[/u], If it's EVE Related or deserves a Lock, it does not belong here.

I would go for CCP Mews, because he does it non stop, but he's also very inspiring.

This is best plan to date. Once kitty under the box, open top, extract the kitty. Simple. Effective.

Don't forget to wear either thick gloves or leather gloves when taking kitty out.

Make sure you fit scram and at least dual web. Either have a pilgrim with tracking disrupts or a falcon on standby to avoid getting shredded. I hear they do more damage then your typical Sleipnir. Beware of 'epic cuteness', or you will get ransomed for more tuna like last time.

I was going to write that into my description, but I figured everyone would think I was crazy.

The question is if he is that tiny, then it's a bit too young to really look for that kind of body language because he's going to be a little ball of spaz anyways.


The best way is to get him to come in close to you using the treats technique (if you want to keep using tuna, then don't just put out a dish of tuna guys, you gotta put a little trail to get him to come closer to you. He's never going to just trust you because you put out tuna. Gotta be a trust game.)

Think of it like the Jita scam where people offer players double back their ISK for sending them ISK.

Fundamentally, the Kitten is untrusting. By putting food out, you are offering the first ISK of 10 ISK. Cat doubles down and gives you 100 ISK, and you need to give 1000 ISK.

By the time you get him to the 500M ISK mark, he should be in your hand and licking your fingers.

And then you pull the scam and bag the little bugger.

Yes, I know you think that you are doing something to help him, but from his perspective he is being totally scammed. Just saying. :)

try to play with him, imitating cats works often to make one consider you friendly.
don't go to him, try very slowy, and if he go back when you do this, stop immediatly, don't force your way close to him, or he'll flee quickly.
good chances that if you stop moving he'll stop also, and may think about accepting you later.

cats are pretty cautious about neutrals, they live on nullsec after all.
also don't take a ex-goon dev with you, the cat will think you'll try to scam him :P
you won't catch a cat by force, he fly a dramiel with deadspace modules, you can only catch him by ruse, or by setting standings to blue with him.

Why are you at your desk still? Put on the ghillie suit and go hide in the bushes in front of the office.

He's not in front of the office, he's in the rocks in front of our apartment block. Ghillie suit is a good idea though. I wish there was such a thing as a catmagnet...
