I have a cat that I rescued as a feral kitten that after two years I was still not able to touch. The first time he escaped (from the second floor porch - pulling the spline out of the screen) I was able to get him with a humane trap and remote trigger by placing the trap in view of the porch. He has escaped for a second time ( I stapled the screen but he must've gotten out the door) and I've tried a trap with step trigger, and a trap with a remote trigger with a video camera where I almost had him, but because of a three second delay in the video feed, I triggered the door too late. I can't use a drop trap because if he sees me, he won't approach.
I started to Google other trap options, but the sites that came up were too upsetting. Does anyone have experience with some sort of a net or have any other ideas? Unfortunately he's not overly food motivated. I put food and water out for him and I know he's eating it and as a last resort I could withhold it for a night to coax him in to the trap, but I hate to do that.
