Trap Advice
We are desperately trying to trap our cat who got out on Wednesday morning at about 3 am. He came around the next night and ate about half a can of food on the porch. He ran away when we opened the door. He didn’t come the next night, but did come again last night. Yesterday evening we put out a trap with a heated food bowl with canned food in it on the porch. He came up and sniffed the food bowl from outside the trap, but ended up walking away after a few minutes (we’re not sure where because the camera cut out). It is snowing and cold right now, and will be below freezing in a few days. I read not to trap in winter. Is it safe to try in snowing or freezing weather if we have a motion activated camera and are waiting inside with a loud notification?
What can we do to catch him? We thought he would be hungry enough after 48 hours to go in the trap, but we had no luck. Those who trap- please help!

) , since that's the main reason to not trap in the winter. A lot of situations are being done where the trap might not be looked at for a little while and even a little while can be bad in the winter.
