This feral cat is proving to be a clever little blighter! I reset the trap last night, using pilchards in tomato sauce, put quite a bit in too. I know he's around as he and tango having been having regular 'face offs'. I come down this morning and the pilchards have gone and the trap has'nt tripped  Confused  He or someone has cleverly stepped over the flap which trips the trap eaten the pilchards and left  Shocked
I shall have a fiddle today to see if I can make it more sensitive!!!!!!!!

I didn't set it last night as Tango refused to come in  Rolling Eyes  I think we must be in baby rabbit season, as this is when he goes for days.
Actually what I should have done was set it anyway and if he got trapped, he got trapped, he wouldn't go in again!!!

I'll keep you posted.

becuase he has cost me in excess of £500 in vets bills, and hopefully if I trap him and get him neutered he won't fight as much!! Well thats what happened to the last one!

At 5.30 this morning hubby came down to let the cats out, bearing in mind we locked them in last night, Sassy was sat inside the door and tango was outside on the patio, he had managed to open the locked cat flap (never get burmese they are too clever) and who was sat on the table? the feral cat, hardly ran off when hubby opened the door.

So I shall move the cage to the back for awhile  Confused

i laughed at that one libby

we had a cat that could do the cat flap when it was locked and she was just an ordinary moggy...she even learned how to move things out of the way of a locked cat flap if we tried to block their exit ...clever things
