Do you ever have that doozy feral cat that seems to avoid bring trapped? Well, meet "Cheeks" from my colony. Sometimes changing the trap location such as hiding among landscape, shrubbery, etc. helps as does switching baits to something like rotisserie chicken, catnip, tuna, fish pate', sardines or even a McDonalds greasy, plain McChicken sandwich! You can also zip tie the trap door open with food inside. This allows the feral to go in/out without being trapped until you are finally ready and then can clip the zip tie and do the trapping. Drop traps are also an excellent option. Withholding food will also increase the chances for trapping success. These are just a few tips!
