My first attempt to trap one failed last night. The food disappeared and the trap door was shut but no cat. I am beginning to think either two possibilities.
1. Someone saw a cat in there and let it out.
2. A cat ate the food without tripping the trap and then one of them bumped the cage later on closing the door. The trap works well, I tested it out myself and it is a tried trap that I received from someone who has caught lots of cats in it before.
Are there any other possibilities I could be missing? I just hope nobody is trying to sabotage my efforts although that is possible on this campus. Do you think adding a sign to the cage would help? "Humane trapping in process -Trap Neuter Release Sponsored by PA Pets - will be neutered, receive rabies shots, dewormer and then be released at this spot" Would that help since maybe someone thinks some crazy person is trapping them for scientific research or something and thinks they are being helpful to the cats?
I have never tried to trap a cat before so any insight would be greatly appreciated. I won't be able to try again until next Sunday because of Thanksgiving break here at school.
