I've used Kentucky Fried Chicken before to trap ferals, but never switched from canned to KFC mid stream.
Tonight we had 3 trapping stations going on around town. 3 of us manned each station with a woman driving between picking up the cats that were caught.
We started the night with Fancy Fiest Salmon, and while it attracted interest, my site only had a few heads pop inside, pull out and walk away. A few hours passed with no real interest.
Then the mobile woman brought up some Kentucky Fried Chicken. We baited the trap with that, she left, and within 2 minutes, 5 cats came out of the blue. A tuxie climbs inside the trap, eats all the chicken and the d*mned trap doesn't trip! *sigh* I rebate the trap with chicken, set the tension as light as it goes.
At that point I leave for the night, relieved by another person. They just called to say that the tuxie came back, the trap worked this time around, which is good because he has a bad injury to his ear.
The other 2 sites trapped 2 cats each. We wanted to catch 12, but we're happy to catch 5. They are off to the low cost spay/neuter clinic in the morning.
Thank you Kentucky Fried Chicken!! WOOHOO!!
