Whether it's putting in a clear rear door, using Spam as bait, wrapping your trap with green garden netting or training a cat to enter a trap, you're bound to learn something new that will improve your trapping success.
Thanks!
Extremely informative!! Loved the info on accidentally catching a wild animal!👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the information! Currently trying to trap “Elvis” one of the TNR cats I care for. He’s very feral and trap savvy now. I trapped him once and he had a terrible URI, got neutered and treated for that and we had to wait an additional 4 weeks to get his dental appointment as he needed a couple canines extracted and a cleaning. He injured himself now as he isn’t using one of his front legs. 😭 I’ve been trying now for over a week and no matter how long I withhold food, nothing. I also feed 6 other TNR cats so it’s difficult to feed them and not him. I think he’s eating somewhere else but don’t know where. He has no ears due to frostbite from previous years. He’s a senior and I want to retire him and let him live inside with me.
Excellent. Thank you!
This was awesome. I moved to a country where there are no laws against having stray animals loose. Yes, it is sad to see and experience daily. Because of this, stray cats & dogs are everywhere with a community of cats esp. at every condo, etc. So I took it upon myself to feed and get them fixed. We just had an issue of one having her 8 week old babies just dissapear and it's traumatic for her, not to mention me. No idea where they went?? Anyway this video helped immensely for my beginning trapping. We do have wonderful spay clinics throughout and they do fabulous work for $5-10$! I normally never watch videos til the end but watched and learned from every minute of this. Thank you very much for sharing this for the animal population and us humans😊. Bless all you do.
VERY Excellent info, on wildlife thanks🐈⬛🍀💯
The best cat trap I've ever seen is the Uhlik Repeater Cat Trap, and there's a CZcams video with it in action - I am not sure if they ship to Hawaii but this is the BEST trap ever. I've trapped cats and gotten them fixed before in Hawaii (Oahu) but the biggest headache is trying to get them into the humane society. It's now early June, and there's no appointments until September!
Thank you for the video. We lost a cat in a 8-9 acre thick-wooded area while camping. The area is surrounded by farmland making a nice little wooded island. We’ve discovered that there are 6-7 other cats living in these woods. We did not see our cat for the first two weeks, but after a return trip 4 weeks later we’ve seen her on a trail and on a trail cam (we don’t live in the area but can visit a few days at a time.) We’ve tried covered and camouflaged traps not far off the trail but along logs or woodpiles. We’ve used tuna and chicken. We’ve caught 4 different cats, a couple of them multiple times. We get a lot of opossums as well. We set the traps out at dusk and check them maybe 2-hours later. A couple of our traps have cameras that signal movement, so we’ll respond to them as appropriate. Otherwise we’ll check in the morning. We rarely see cats during the day and have never caught anything during daylight. All of our activity has been recent, summer/fall - in 60-80 degree weather and in thick foliage. We’re running out of ideas and hope. The drive is 6 hours, but we’ll try again in a couple weeks. Does anyone out there have suggestions/experience for our next attempt?
Garden hose that's brilliant. I'm planning to attach straps on the sides like I have on my electric traps.
Very informative video! A cat that is not mine was staying at my house while the owner is away long term (gets back in mid July 2023). She was very timid and hid, but 1.) figured out how to remove the vent plates to get in my house air ducts from the room she was kept in. I got a live trap and set it and within a half day she was trapped. Well, 2.) she slipped out the window in that room by pushing the screen out. I set food in the trap she was trapped in a few days before but she wouldn't go in to eat the food at the back. I've been trap training her and she will eat the food until it is past the trigger plate. The trap door is held open right now. I know she's been around because I set up a trail camera right at the trap. Several parts of this situation are making it really hard to be successful:
i caught a kitten in a cat trap outside i got them in my house they doing great!!! there about over a year now a good cat Gabe!!! )

What to do when they are smart and step over the stepper?
I have been trapping. I feed about 14 now. I have new ones to trap. How do I trap un tipped cats and not the ones already TNR’d? How does that work?
I have trapped almost 30 cats and I am always worried about them getting their tail caught. I caught 2 kittens in one trap and one had it's tail tip injured.
We ended up catching the cat but it escaped the trap. Is there any advice? Can I still use a trap to catch them? Or will they never go near the trap again?
One I am trying to catch, never eats. Not even outside the trap. How do I convince him to enter the trap if he doesn't want food?
Could you please show us a picture of the water bottle situation?
How do I keep cat safe if trap one day early?
Oh and after I do find my cat I will call for help for the cats in that womans house,and that the guy gets his cat back that the woman has and is not giving it back. I trust God,He will and is helping too. Thank you.
