Cat counselling / mediation

[Northernchimp]

One of my cats has decamped to an old sofa in a neighbours garden and refuses to come home. I think it's because one of my other cats slaps her in the face whenever she walks past.

I have tried luring her back with sardines and open cat food with no joy. She just snoots me and climbs back into the sofa.

How do you build bridges with a cat? I am pretty upset about this and am worried about what will happen if the old sofa gets collected whilst she's asleep.

Pick her up, put her in, carry her home - lock cat flap for a week, feed sardines

Can't lock her in, too many other cats to consider. She is nervy and will just lash out if I try to pick her up. Hopefully she'll come back when the weather gets bad.
