the cat trap, day 3

our first two days trying to catch the cat have been unsuccessful. we haven't even had any nibbles at the tuna we left out.

I read up on animal traps on the internet before today's outing. It suggested a few things to try.

One suggestion is to set food/bait outside the trap for a few consecutive days in order to get the animal used to eating in this area. The other is to conceal the trap a bit - keep it shaded for the animal's protection, and make it seem more like a natural hiding place than a cage. so here's what we've got....

I've placed the cage against a wall with a section of leftover fencing covering it. I've also placed an old towel & throw rug over the cage itself. this makes it kinda dark inside and covers the back side of the cage, creating a sort of "cave" effect. the grub is now placed a little in front of the cage to start luring our friend out for regular meal time. come an' get it, sucka!
