so, there is this feral cat that has shown up after i had gotten everyone else s/n. i borrowed a trap from someone, but this cat won't go in it. oh, it will walk in circles around it, jump on top of it, stare inside of it, but not dare step a paw into it
then it will sit there and stare at me to get my attention, then act like its going to walk into the trap, go in but not far enough to set it off. seriously, this cat is bugging me
i have a towel inside the trap so its not walking on the wire, a large blanket over it, and a can of very smelly wet food inside with a trail of dry food leading into it. and yes, it has eaten every single piece of dry food, but manages not to set off the trap.
any suggestions of how to catch him? its a beautiful black and white longhaired male (atleast i assume male because of how much fights it gets in).
alaska of course isn't being any help. she went in and set it off five times, and i kept rescueing her, but i think she enjoys it
