Now, if it really is a skunk; they are super easy to catch. Once you know it's not rabid (like, it's not aggressive and still around after a few months), you can call it like a cat and it will come over. They're even more friendly than red foxes. They absolutely LOVE attention; treats and petting. The stories about kids and the funny-looking black and white kitties are spot on. Skunks are probably the most affable members of the weasel family, aside from ferrets. Somewhere, I have a picture of me when I was 9 or 10, with one sitting on my lap.

My uncle (married to my aunt, not biological), was 3/4 Penobscot Indian, and taught me everything I know about skunks and how to interact with them. He'd catch them for people. Not trap them, but actually catch them; literally. In his hands. He'd whistle and talk to them, and they'd come right over. He'd pet them, pick them up and stuff them in a gunny sack. Now you know why I have an affinity for black and white cats.
