Scrim is captured once again

The latest: Trap Dat Cat captured Scrim in one of its humane animal cages early Tuesday morning, The Times-Picayune reports.

• Despite being on the lam for months during which he's run up to 13 miles in a single day and even leapt around active train tracks, Scrim is in perfect health, the paper reported.

Catch up quick: The legendary little beastie first came to New Orleans by way of the Terrebonne Parish animal shelter.

• Zeus' Rescues owner Michelle Cheramie scooped up scrim to bring him to New Orleans for fostering and eventual adoption.
• But on his first night at his Mid-City foster home, Scrim escaped. It took seven months for Cheramie to get him back.
• Then, he escaped for a second time, launching himself from the second floor of a Mid-City home in November.

Since then, Scrim's story has captured national attention, with headlines in outlets like CBS News, The Washington Post and the AP. Some New Orleanians even committed his likeness to their bodies with Scrim tattoos.

• And, honestly, Scrim's really been through it, too.
• He's been shot twice by bullets and other times by tranquilizer darts. He even lost a toenail and a chunk of his ear.

What's next: Cheramie told The Times-Picayune's Doug MacCash that Scrim is being bathed and outfitted with a GPS tracking collar.

• "He won't get away again," she said.

What we're wondering: Given the nature of his latest capture and his clear aversion to most people, could Scrim actually be a cat?
