I bought a trap like this to trap a starving kitty that I saw around my apartment building one winter. I never got to use it though since someone had let the cat into our building one night and I managed to catch her after hearing her meowing loudly next to our dryer. I still have the kitty 14 years later ^_^ And I gave the trap to the local animal shelter which didn't have one.
Cats a horrible creatures and they deserve to die like rats. I usually set giant rat traps and they fall for it. Huge clamp smashes down on the cat with spikes. Works every time.
Nope, did that with a can of cat food and the cat ate all of the food out of the can without setting off the trap. Never touched the plate. The setting in this video is a good idea.
@@sb510d4 best to still put it behind the plate, but not far back. like right up against it basically, cause it'd force them to step on the plate as to get just close enough to get the food
@@ghosted_joey9249 I’m sure it would work sometimes, but like I said, that’s what I did and the cat ate all of the food out of the can without ever stepping on the plate.
I have this same trap and I've had it for a long time, I've caught plenty of opossums and raccoons with it on my homes property to relocate them and it works very good. The only downside about it is that the little hook mechanism that attaches to the door can become rusted up over time and it makes it harder for the trap to be engaged when an animal steps on the plate and sometimes they can eat the food without setting it off,to fix it I just spray a little bit of Teflon based lube and sand off the rough surface rust and it seems to help a lot.
@@KingdomUploader I got a different type after this one. It’s a quick set trap that you pull a little lever on the top to set it. The trap I had before from this video was the same maker, but it was a little smaller. It got a bit mangled up when a big raccoon got trapped in it. It broke a few welds and managed to get out, so I welded it back together and then gave it to my dad. It wasn’t that good for trapping raccoons, because they were able to put their hand through the bigger holes on the top and pull the trip bar that goes down the side, and let themselves out. With any trap, they seem to be the best escape artists by finding the latch mechanism and releasing it somehow.
@@maddiesgamingchannel8163 So far I haven't seen racoons here; i'm focused on catching possums and squirrels, so hopefully they won't be as aggressive :) I was under the impression that I'd need the 32" long one for possums and for your coons but you say you bought a smaller Advantek brand trap? The 24" one? Thanks!
Thanks for the demo, it was great, but that cat was DOA when you dropped it off at the shelter. Best method is TNR: Trap, Neuter, Release. Shelters will not take a feral cat, or if they do, will euthanize immediately.
The first thing I noticed, the food should've been placed AFTER the trip plate so it can be triggered easily and have more of the animal inside the cage..
I put a can of cat food in a trap behind the trip plate and the cat never set the trap off. Ate all the food out of the can and left. I think leaning it on the trip plate itself is a good idea.
It is actually a compilation of Apple Loops from the iLife Sound Effects Suite - although I do play guitar, actually :) If you want to look it up, I think they are all listed under "Funky Electric Guitar" so if you have access to a Mac computer, just open any of the iLife programs and do a search for that and you should find it.
I want u to show us how to safely REMOVE the wild, feral cat or Racon from this trap without getting torn to pieces your self. Catching it is easy, letting it go when angry is difficult!
That's good! If you catch a skunk it often helps to cover the trap with a tarp or old blanket. That will keep it from getting as scared - and also contain things if it does spray.
Menards sells them in store. Got the advantek 24"×7"×7" trap rated for rabvits, skunks, weasels, squirrels and feral cats for $21.74 after taxes. They also have larger sizes.
i was thinking ot is a good trap but when i was watching i was think the cats tail was going to get caught under and also u should put the food in the back so they step on it and the door closes
My neighbor hatches them every spring. You can buy them at most farm animal auctions too, but you will probably have to buy a large number of them there.
I guarantee you this is NOT a feral cat. I'm guessing it's actually his personal pet. A feral cat is wild. He would not be able to film his ending so easily. Also, when trapping a feral cat, please show respect and cover the trap with a sheet to calm the cat. Finally, do not take a feral to the shelter. It will only be euthanized. A stray will still act agitated and anxious but strays can go to shelters. Trapping a feral is to alter them then release them back where you trapped them.
Now I know where the feral cat in my hood got the tail injury he has. That orange cat is a pet/star not feral. Feral cats go crazy when trapped like any other wild animal.
I am having some work done in my house on the second floor. My cat is scared and has been hiding from me and I purchased one of these traps to catch him so I can keep him in the downstairs rooms away from workmen and noise of drills, hammers, etc. I tried it last night, but my cat was able to eat the food without stepping on the trip plate. Should I put the food in a shallower dish? Any suggestions will be helpful.
I didnt understand the instructions really well, (from Amazon, had a brain burp) Agreed with check local laws, and live traps are a way to humanely deal with and relocate feral animals . Thanks much for the video!
That cat OBVIOUSLY isn't feral. I hope you're just borrowing a cat for demonstration purposes, because if not you should always try to find the owners, especially when a cat is so calm tempered about being trapped.
Wild and smart: I had a wild cat tormenting my cat. He was a smart cat. I made a rabbit box, but used screen wire and cat food. the cat claws were in the screen wire, he could not turn and get out before the door dropped. The cat was relocated . My cat had peace.
I don't want to be one of those idiots who leave negative comments. The only thing I'm considering is that the cat could belong to someone who neglected to put a collar on him. That would be sad.
Whenever you trap a cat, PLEASE cover the cage with a big towel or blanket after the cat is trapped! Cats will often thrash in the trap, and can really hurt themselves! When you cover the cage, they will settle down.
Only issue I have with these traps is the size of the gaps around the bait area (beyond the trip plate. I have had several cats steal the bait by reaching in through the wires and hooking it out. Solution is connecting hardware cloth around this area.
I looked for the link both in my PS3 TH-cam and then my cellphone TH-cam. No link in description. $40 on amazon, I wanted to use your link to purchase it.
If you use a mousetrap, like most of my videos are about and not a large animal trap like this one, you should be able to catch the mice without catching your pets.
what do you do if the cat escapes the Trap the trap worked but the cat out smarted the trap now what any kind of advice would be appreciated and what are the chances of capturing the cat for the second time trapping humanely is all new to me
WHOO HOO!!! Thank you for this. A cat got under my (very old) house and managed to damage my ductwork, then crawl into my home via my vents. When you don't have 4-legged animals but see one wandering through your home, that's terrifying! Humane Society not only got it out (after three days and many anxious nights as it kept trying to come through our vents; I have a young child who is EXTREMELY allergic to cats), they gave me a couple of traps since my town is overflowing w/ stray cats. Can't wait to start catching those suckers!
*bwuahahaha* As SOON as I finished my comments, I see out my window a stray heading through my neighbor's yard towards my place. No lie! HOLD ON, KITTY! LEMME GET THE TUNA!!! *lol*
Well, screw the cat if he's pissed off!!! Cats are nothing more than killers of birds and small mammals. These freaking things are screwing up our eco-system!!
its time that a person actually agrees on something that somebody says am I right or not but if I am right subscribe and I'll make some videos thank you.

Tip: set the bait *behind* the "bait plate". It's actually a trip plate. The idea is the front paws should hit the plate.

Seems the better way would be to put the foot closer to the end so it steps on the plate.
exactly what i thought, but it worked well anyway :D
that is one calm cat in that cage, it didn't look too distressed at all

I bought this trap to catch some rabbits. They freak out and tear themself up on all the metal. The rabbits were all cut up and bleeding.
5:37 you're welcome.
Thanks Joaquin Phoenix! i appreciate it!
I love the musical score. Do you have the guitar tabs available for me, so I can play it while I catch my own cats?

Cat trap closes down, guitar gets funkier. Love it
5:38 is when a feral cat turns into a Tasmanian Devil
Man I felt bad for the cat. It looked so innocent with its eyes and meow
Elijah Amirianfar It’s dangerous
I accidentally caught a skunk with one of these. Fortunately he was pretty chill about the situation and didn't cause any trouble.
That's good! If you catch a skunk it often helps to cover the trap with a tarp or old blanket. That will keep it from getting as scared - and also contain things if it does spray.
+G+ is terrible if you catch a juvanile they spray if you catch a mature one they dont

Cat didn't seem ferrel or he would be climbing everywhere and hissing scratching :))
Put the food behind the trigger
I agree because it took too long for the cat to be trapped inside.
Thank you so much!

Happy trapping safely and humanely 😎👍
Why didn't you read the instructions before you made the video?
Barbara Langdon OK
Nice. I think that your videos explain a lot and not just a like 2 min review like other people. Great job!
Glad you think so :)

What size of trap should I for a full size cat a (32"x10"x12") seems too small for a cat.

what took the trap long be long too activate ?
I know rabbits like apples. Haven't heard of pumpkin slices, but it sounds like it would work.
I thought that cats tail was gonna get chopped off haha

Amazing Post! Thanks for Posting.
how much do they cost?
Haha, good question. I only have three neighbors, and I know what all their cats look like.
Aw, thanks halcyon1030! Glad you found the videos helpful, and I hope you're raccoons benefit from them too :)
How safe is that trap for the animals i like it!!!!!!

what do you do if the cat escapes the Trap
the trap worked but the cat out smarted the trap now what

Great looking trap but how did you know it wasn't a neighbours cat?
The cat look pissed off when he standing by him.
