well, I am still fairly new to TNVR, so better ideas might come along,
but I place smooth cardboard covered with soft blanket on one end of trap,
and put crumpled up, messy looking "puppy pads" on other end, and most cats seem to pee on the puppy pads since it is easier to for them to 'bury' it somewhat.
when i pull the puppy pads out, sometimes i leave it like that, wth no pads INSIDE the trap,
and just have pads Under the trap, and swap out those,
and sometimes, i am able to re-stuff a new puppy pad into one end of the trap,
but, it is not an idea set up, it is kinda one of those things you just kind of have to suffer through for one (1) day, until he can move into the larger recovery suite.
Maybe others will have better ideas on that.
Sometimes i am able to stuff a fresh clean puppy pad in between the bars, and sometimes, i can sneak the door open just a tad to stuff it in. depends.
at any rate, you have to be Super careful even opening the trap door for even a tiny bit, as the cat will try to bolt through it,
Or possibly even scratch you out of pain and fear,
so, if you can not remove/replace a wet puppy pad? that is gonna be less traumatic to Mr Cat there,
than running wild and loose with his stitches all ripping open if he gets loose.
I sort of resign myself that is it Not going to be his favorite day of the year, but it is for a good cause.
