Trapping status

I have managed to trap four males. They are in the barn waiting for Tuesday when the vet opens and I can get them in for a neuter (i hope) I am glad for the large cages as I have a feeling the vet’s schedule is a tad packed and these neuters aren’t going to happen right away. The smell is pretty overpowering right now, but at least these cats aren’t left inside the traps to wait for their moment.

There is one boy I really want to capture. He looks like a turkish van mix but he is trap savvy and is staying alive by mousing so the food doesn’t interest him in the least. He is pure white with a black tail and black points on his head and ears- really beautiful but man is he spraying the bushes with his pee mail- my cats are going nuts.

  1. About all we can say is ‘Good Luck’. Maybe something really stinky and cat-intensive like tuna or sardines (or a catnip banana?) might work better to bait the trap.

    FWIW, we’ve read that a drop box trap sometimes works better than the ‘standard’ live traps like you (probably) have. Here are a couple places that show you how to make and use them,.
