I agree with lining the trap with paper, and covering it with a sheet. Here is what I do: 1.) line the trap with newspaper, but not so thick that the trip plate is weighted down. 2.) put smelly food in the back and make sure that seafood is in oil, not water - the oil will hold the smell...

Ok, a couple of things - it could be standard parasites, and there is no reason to kill a cat for that. Can you get Clavamox from your vet to put into the food? You can order panacur online, as well as nemex and droncit - these will knock out giardia, roundworm, and tapeworm. Also, add pureed...
