I need some tricks before I go insane trying to catch these guys.
I have been trying to catch this one female in particular for a while now. She is way to smart and somehow always manages to avoid being trapped. Just trying to trap the last two nights has been interesting to say the least. I didn't know I could be outsmarted by the same cat morethan once in the same night. First she did her usual smell the traps and leave without trying to come in. Then she came back and ate the bite that I put a little bit before the trip plate that usually lures them inside. Then before leaving she somehow managed to stretch past the trip plate and eat the food that was so far back in the trap it was against the back door, and then back out of it without setting it off. If that wasn't enough after I rebaited it she come along again and pulls the news paper that was lining the bottom of the trap out to get the food out. Seriously the removing the newspaper was a new one!
I am willing to try anything to get this cat into a trap. There were two other cats that showed upwhile she was there but I think her tricks are making it hard to trap them too.
