Battle of wits?

We have an appointment to take our cat, Flickie in for her yearly
shots this afternoon. The tricky bit will be locating and capturing
her prior to the drive to Bandon. Locking her in would be fruitless
so we rely on the fact that if I go outside to sit on the deck she
will materialize from her hidey-hole and with luck will allow herself
to be pounced upon. Chancey that. She is ultra-cautious, and even
less wary cats often have some notion of when one is plotting to
capture them. Stacked against one another, the wits of a human and
the wits of a cat are no match. I'll bet on kitty nine times out of
ten. So we have a back up plan wherein our neighbor gets a call to
say Flick has chosen invisibility and said neighbor appropriates our
vet appointment to take her dog Ginger for her rabies shot. Dogs are
more human and easier to fool.
