Tips on catching Percy if you see him: Do not approach him directly and do not make direct eye contact. Try and approach from the side and use your peripheral vision to check his reaction. Do not extend your hand out towards him as he may worry that he is going to be grabbed or hit. Give him an opportunity to see that he has an escape route without directing him towards traffic or other dangers. Try using a command such as "sit" and/or "stay" which could buy you enough time to get hold of him. It may be possible to throw a coat over him to stop him running for long enough to be caught. Sounds obvious but often, when people are focused on catching a loose animal, they inadvertently make an approach that makes it more scared and less likely to be caught. |
