I have been seeing a grey cat coming to eat with my other ferals. Tonight I decided to go ahead and put dry food out and watch who ate hoping that my regulars would show up and eat before the grey one came, that way they would be less likely to go into the trap themselves. Well I watched a couple of my regulars eat and then the grey cat showed up. I went outside (he ran off of course) and put the dry food away and set the trap. The grey cat went for it. He went in and got the sardines and the trap didn't close!
I couldn't believe it! That had never happened before. I went out and re-set the trap but figured it was probably a lost cause but darned if he didn't come back and this time the trap worked!
He's one very po'd kitty. Now I just have to hope that the Vet can work him into her schedule tomorrow.
