I tried for 3 days to trap my indoor-only cat that escaped. He was scared and behaving as a feral cat. After watching this one video and following your recommendations, I trapped him after only about 15 minutes. I am still in shock! THANK YOU so much for the knowledge you shared. You certainly helped return my baby back home. 😻
I set a trap for my indoor only cat that escaped, who would run as soon as I approach. I placed the trap at the front door when he escaped with just kibble. But no bite. He never ate sardine or real tuna, so I wonder if that's a good idea. I placed a bit of tuna yesterday, and still no bite.
@@achosenone44 I hope you are providing food and water for him. I finally got mine back after 22 days. I got surveillance cameras, which made all the difference since he would only come out at night from my neighbor's backyard into mine for a little food. I watched him go into the trap, ate, and came back out without stepping on the trigger plate. But he ended up walking into the enclosed porch, which I had a string tied to the sliding door. I pulled the string and got him.
Omg my boys been gone four five months but he lives outside and I see him I just can’t catch him lol I can’t wait to try to get him I miss him so much but I’m afraid he’s too feral now 🥺🥺
Thank you so much. This is an excellent step-by-step video of how to set this trap, which I needed to assist someone in another country where I couldn´t show them myself. Hands up to you!!!
You did a beautiful job on this! Thank you so much. I have 5 feral I am going to be trapping and I am trying to learn as much as I can to avoid making too many "false moves" and prolonging the ordeal. I have puchased 5 Tomahawk 605NC traps and 4 dividers, as you are taught to use two in the traps angled toward the cat so you can add food and water. I have prepared by taking a Trapping Certification course given by Neighborhood Cats. Additionally. I wanted a really good video showing how to use the traps safely and you have provided that. Much appreciated..
I appreciate this video.💖💖 I have one of these traps being delivered tomorrow from Amazon and figured I'd better get educated on how to use it. Your video is the 1st I've watched. It is logical & makes perfect sense. And unless I fail at catching my kitty for a health check, I'll have no need to watch any other videos.
Okay, you Genius you. I read the comment about catching it within 15 minutes so I decided to try this method out. Sure did work within 15 minutes! Thank you so much. We had a cat in our warehouse (work) for almost 3 weeks.
Thank you for sharing this vid. I have a feral cat problem, and I've been looking for a humane way to deal with it. Thanks to the information you shared on this video, I feel confident I can deal with this issue humanely.
thank you for the information in this video---so helpful to me as I am a novice at this. so frustrating; cats are very elusive and smart about traps. I am going to try a drop trap soon. but the info about the oil in the tuna--excellent I never knew. and putting the food underneath the trap-=-also I never thought of. thanks & God Bless you and this org.
Same here they are disgusting POS cowards. Makes them feel like BIG men to be cruel to little defenseless animals...ugh. What a waste of space they are. And as far as the ahole with the gun comment BEWARE because it works both ways heh heh heh!
Yeah, lotta pieces of of work out there who consider compassion to be a character defect. I've been able to shut down the button pushing by bracing myself before reading comments and such, reminding myself that that they are foolishly telling us about what sort of people they are. Used to be disgusted, now simply amused by them.
Yeah, I made the mistake of putting the food in a bowl on the trigger plate. And sat in amazement as the cat came down and ate everything out of the bowl from inside the cage. The tigger plate was never triggered. I will especially pay attention to putting the food on the trigger pad and place the plate under the cage.
I put the food in the back of the cage and the kitten walked in ate the tuna out of the can and walked out without setting off the trap. Think the kitten was too light to set off the Havahart.
Yeah, my clever kitty cleaned out the plate without setting it off, I took the plate out and added another plate the extends under it when she will have to step on it to reach the bait.
By FAR the most effective trap baiting I've found. Literally, trapped all 3 strays on a Saturday morning at seperate times !!! Finally, my garden can have some peace this summer !!! Thank you very much for the informative video !!! My wife thinks I'm a genuis now lol !!!
That's funny because I have that problem. Female cat had kittens in my garage roof and I had to tear the tarp to get them out. Now they won't leave my property.
The failure in most of the cat trap design is the trap door itself. A small rubber bumper needs to be added to the ends of the cage frame where the door hits to prevent complete closure of the door so to have a gap when tripped and closed. In other words, prevent metal slamming against metal. The a one way ratchet hook could be added to the side so that nobody could open it. You would have a thumb release which would have to be depressed first before opening the door. I'm talking about such traps as "Havahart" such trap types and all those that are similar.
I dub thee the "Sage of the Cage ",Great video knowledge based common sense application for the problem I have atm is firstly I feel like I'm being outsmarted by an animal, my self-esteem can't take much more but now I know how to shut the door.
Personally I have never needed to put food UNDER the trap and to smear it also on the trip plate....I've only used a small paper plate and placed it on the trip plate and voila it works. I also dribble a little outside the whole trap leading to the inside till the cat can see the plate of food and then they'll walk and spring the trap.
My own cat is running wild at the moment, possibly with a recently rehomed feral cat, so I'm going to hire one or two of these and see if I can trap either or both of the cats. They've both come to my house looking for food and I think I know which routes they take around their territory, so this is very useful information.
i want to trap some cats by my apt... i am moving out. i used to feed cats outside my apt every night and they wait for me meowing. i did this for 2 months already. sedona apartments in moreno valley. 3 cats and their mama cat brownie. one of the ladies in another apt told us that she had to put them by trash can she used to feed them but cant them them in her place something about her daughter. they used to be on top of a fence which has houses in back but now i see them on ground they look so scared but i still feed them i bought a house in victorville and i want to take them with me. how can i get them in the cage this lady in video gave me a great idea but i want to get all 3 cats with their mom cat and keep them with me i will take good care of them. also another cat someone abandon him and we feed him everyday he come by my porch and get fed i cant bear the thought of leaving him behind although i see him with other cats in the apt complex and 3 other cats i was feeding too but it looks like they wont come with me. if for some reason i cant them before i leave which is tomorrow really weds night i will come back again and try to get them
Sweet little ladies👵🏼 It would be nice if feeders cat proof their backyards so the cats stay there & out of neighbors yards. They bring issues to others property that don’t want them🦟💩💦
Cats have free reign in case you didn’t know. Have you even thought of how to cat proof a yard? Why not join your neighbors in a catch and release program? Be a part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
@@NOT-WOKE-007 I’m not feeding these wild animals! How am I part of the problem, that’s deflecting the reason the problem is here in the first place😅😂🤣 A cat owner said they’d “KILL THE CATS!”
@@NOT-WOKE-007 I already stated a solution in my very first post. Its apparent you just don’t like it. She said in the video “HER FERALS!” Sounds like ownership to me... then own it 100%
There is a kitten that already went through TNR and I've have been trying to trap him to bring him home as he's not feral at all. The issue is that the people that live in that area keeps feeding him even though I asked them to stop.
There's a mama cat and possibly four babies, our neighborhood has a lot of stray/indoor outdoor/feral cats, and it really breaks my heart seeing innocent babies going through a hell like environment 😭💔
Thank you for this. I have a feral cat I've been feeding for 3 years I need to trap ASAP. she is pregnant (again) and a couple days ago she showed up with a degloving injury (her tail has been skinned to the bone). Is it ok to force a pregnant cat to not eat for 36 hours prior to trapping? I fear she'd just go elsewhere to eat anyway- there are other feeders in my neighborhood. Help!!!
@@iamastarchild It was quite easy. Got momma and her female kitten the first night. Kept them in a large cage with each other for one night. They had food, water and a sand box. Let them out when the sun came up. Trapped her other kitten a couple days later, a male. Did the same with him, kept him caged for one day. They are all three doing fine. Be sure to cover the cage with a large towel or sheet. Good luck.
Just what I needed! I got a cage from China but it looked a lot like yours. I don't like how the back door is supposed to be shut with a U wire! Very unsafe because the cat can squeeze through the corner of the door and possibly get stuck and harmed! I'm going to put 2 clasp hooks instead. One on each corner! Before watching your video, I put the cage out the first time, I watched two cats walk around the cage and then walked away. 😂 That's when I thought I would look for some advice!
Question: how do I catch 5 Cats in one night with 5 different live traps set ? I only have one night to catch all of them, since the rescue people have one appointment only for the Vet clinic to neuter and give them shots. I am paying for it all at a rescue discount. Then Cats will be taken to a farm to heal from surgeries and to stay on that farm. Won't the other Cats be too scared to get trapped when they see one of them get trapped ? It is a litter of kittens I am trapping, they are about 12 weeks old and their Mother.
I have a large/long feral. I had bought a double door havahart and when it clicked, there was are inf delay before door slammed shut and he had backed up, so it hit him in the ass and prevented door from closing and he escaped. I don't know if he'll ever go in another one. But he is aggressive and attacking my cats and he is sick. I need either a longer trap or a different style trap. He's very street Saavy. Any suggestions?
Thank you .. I would have done it wrong and put the food inside instead of underneath and I would not of covered it. Glad I watched this I could of hurt the little kitty if it panicked
Can I have some tips on catching feral cats. My neighbor feeds several of them(well actually he feed his barn cats but the ferals also eat the food) but every time one dies others seem to fill in its space. I have tried to catch them but only succeeded in catching his domestic barn cats. What should I do, they are making lots of trouble.
I trapped a senior feral in 5 minutes following this video! I got her at 11:50 pm and will get animal control in the am. I used sardines in water and when I caught her I covered the trap with a dark sheet so she won't freak out so much
trap neuter release is what most people do, some try to make them house pets and it can work but it takes time especially if they’re older and a small percentage of people put them down but most people really prefer not to
Just had a feral cat send our pet cat (my wife's actually--I've never condoned the keeping of cats) to the vet with grievous wounds. Very expensive. The feral actually took over our cat's place in the shed. Our spayed cat stays inside healing now, and I've closed off his place in the shed. The feral toms will attempt to kill and displace other male cats, especially killing male kittens and leaving the females to live to be mates. Meanwhile, the feral is out there killing not just other pets but endangered birds, and small wild mammals. I know where he's gone and have that landowner's permission to trap it. So thanks for the tutorial.
I also have similar problem. A huge feral cat killing our domestic cats, scattering liter all over and making so much noise like a demon. I however have no access to this trap. Am looking for other ways to catch it.
@@joshquintero9062 I have several traps but they are Havahart brand. I’ve had to rehome several squirrels. They were eating my patio furniture. Since these feral cats have shown up, no more squirrels. But now I have a cat problem. Trapping later today. The clinic opens tomorrow at 9am so I don’t want to start trapping too early today.
You should stay by the trap and keep and eye. The idea is that you spend some feeding on a consistent time so it is expecting the food. Then put the trap there and wait for it to come at dinner time.
Great. Some excellent tips, especially do not feed for 36 hours. And where to place the food. I don't think the cat I'm trying to trap is feral. I think it's lost. My niece's friends are missing a cat that fits this tabby's description. I'm hoping that it's that cat. Either way I've been feeding this cat for a month and it's winter in Alberta. I want to get it to a shelter.
This is interesting. Video is 9 years old. Has anything changed or improved since the posting of this video as far as technology and methods are concerned?
Thank you i needed help capturing a cat to send to a shelter who is a stray who keeps attacking neighborhood cats it just attacked my kitten who escaped :(
Mucha gente no sabe pero los gatos son un grave problema para nuestros ecosistemas ya que son depredadores de otros animales que son necesarios en su hábitat natural, como son: aves, pequeños mamíferos, reptiles e insectos. Debemos hacer conciencia y no salvar a gatos callejeros. Algo muy importante es saber que los gatos en la mayoría de los países son considerados una especie invasora; es decir que no son originarios de esos lugares, si no que han sido introducidos por el hombre. Recordemos que el equilibrio en la naturaleza ha tardado millones de años en crearse. Many people do not know but cats are a serious problem for our ecosystems since they are predators of other animals that are necessary in their natural habitat, such as: birds, small mammals, reptiles and insects. We must raise awareness and not save stray cats. Something very important is to know that cats in most countries are considered an invasive species; In other words, they are not native to those places, but rather that they have been introduced by man. Remember that the balance in nature has taken millions of years to create.
some of the comments made here are disgusting, to say the least! shame on you! I hope you never ever get close to any animal, I fear what you'd do! I volunteer in a shelter, a low-kill one, saving over 80% of the stray cats we come across, and are very proud of this! I will be setting a humane trap up tomorrow, to reunite a lady and her beloved kitty, who didn't want to m ove house when she did!
A lot of people trap cats because they decimate native animals. If people wont keep them inside or in a fenced in area then they are neglecting them, period.
A feral cat is a wild cat. It is one step beyond a stray. Think wild animal not a lost pet. Usually they are born in the wild but stray can become feral.
Thank you. I am getting ready to trap a feral cat by my job. I have been trying to catch him without on for 9 months with no luck. I had purchase it an out door house that someone stole
Setting a trap this way is ok .... but....when I trap I just use something tasty, usually reg. cat food and maybe some tuna but I think she kinda way over does it. I just put a little food on top of the trap and dripple a little to lure the cat inside and have never had any trouble getting any cat I was after.
No more than what u seem to be. If doing this isn't your thing...than fine...look at some other youtube video.....making nasty comments make u the f........wildcat!
I'm about to get one of these for my backyard since my nut job neighbors want to feed the cats but never take them in so they run rampant running down property value! I'm turning them into a shelter. My freaking patio smells terrible with them migrating at night.
Ang sowerti MO naman buti kapa meron kang culogan ng pusa sa man talang ako wala nakakaingit kanaman Saman talagang ako wala Lang akong Magawa sa pusa dahil wala akong kulogan ng pusa Ikaw ang dame dame mong kulogan kayanga Kaya MO silang itrap dahil may kulogan ng pusa ang sowerti Monaman buti kapa meron
why? if your neighbors have unspayed/neutered cats they allow to run loose they are irresponsible pet owners. At my house any cat that feeds here and not fixed is trapped and fixed.
Chattin' to the next door neighbour the other day - I asked him if it was ok for me to jump the fence and take a dump on his back lawn. He sort of looked at me for a second or two and said if he saw me doin' that he'd have to get his gun out. I said great idea, next time I see your Siamese doin' that very same thing, I'll do the same and leave what's left of him on your front door mat. Haven't seen that Siamese in my back yard since, well...my garbage can *was* closer than his front door mat.
i never want to trap a cat to send to animal shelter that is cruel!!! that why i got a house to keep them aso get them spayed and fix is nex t and shots
yea, u can ask ur neighbors but if a cat is outside roaming free it is up for graps...I have trapped many cats and only a very few have had un updated chip to know who it belongs to and then they are informed NOT to let the cat out.
Thank you so much for sharing your video on trapping feral cats today I seen one down the backyard by the time I got my rifle out it disappeared into the bush now that I know how to trap them thanks to you I'll get myself a trap.I do believe when you put them into a garbage bin full of water you need to take it out not long after they die if rigor mortis sets in I'm told they're very hard to get out of the trap thank you once again god bless.

Thank you .. I would have done it wrong and put the food inside instead of underneath and I would not of covered it. Glad I watched this I could of hurt the little kitty if it panicked
What is the measurements of the trap *opening*.....Cat has to do a low crawl ?????
Can I have some tips on catching feral cats. My neighbor feeds several of them(well actually he feed his barn cats but the ferals also eat the food) but every time one dies others seem to fill in its space. I have tried to catch them but only succeeded in catching his domestic barn cats. What should I do, they are making lots of trouble.
You really cannot control which cat gets into your trap. Are his barn cats neutered? If not, they could be part of your problem.
I trapped a senior feral in 5 minutes following this video! I got her at 11:50 pm and will get animal control in the am. I used sardines in water and when I caught her I covered the trap with a dark sheet so she won't freak out so much
I have a problem with the trigger NOT going off while the cat is in the trap.. It wont step on the plate...
Put a piece of newspaper or a Taco Bell to go box over the trip plate.

Whqt do you do after you trap it?
trap neuter release is what most people do, some try to make them house pets and it can work but it takes time especially if they’re older and a small percentage of people put them down but most people really prefer not to
I had put a large towel over my trap and I caught a Raccoon. It shredded that towel to bits and every thread was pulled into the trap.
What size are your traps?
32" x 10" x 12" is a good size for cats, raccoons, opossums, or armadillos. The size is called Large.
What about losing tails? 😫
Just had a feral cat send our pet cat (my wife's actually--I've never condoned the keeping of cats) to the vet with grievous wounds. Very expensive. The feral actually took over our cat's place in the shed. Our spayed cat stays inside healing now, and I've closed off his place in the shed. The feral toms will attempt to kill and displace other male cats, especially killing male kittens and leaving the females to live to be mates. Meanwhile, the feral is out there killing not just other pets but endangered birds, and small wild mammals. I know where he's gone and have that landowner's permission to trap it. So thanks for the tutorial.
Damn so its a wild wild west in the cat world huh
I also have similar problem. A huge feral cat killing our domestic cats, scattering liter all over and making so much noise like a demon.
I however have no access to this trap. Am looking for other ways to catch it.
I only have tuna in water can i use that instead?
+Savannah Schmidt You could start a GoFundMe page to raise millions of dollars for you to by a can of tuna in oil catfood. :)
Daniel P Hanover that’s not what she asked? Damn that’s a snide remark
@@danielphanover6936 LOL
Isn’t oil bad for cats?
Lots of animal abuse comments on here. Very disturbing.
Yummy! Need some crackers
A Tomahawk trap that size costs about $50.
They are not cheap!
@@NOT-WOKE-007thats for sure! It's worth the investment though.
@@joshquintero9062 I have several traps but they are Havahart brand. I’ve had to rehome several squirrels. They were eating my patio furniture. Since these feral cats have shown up, no more squirrels. But now I have a cat problem. Trapping later today. The clinic opens tomorrow at 9am so I don’t want to start trapping too early today.
I need trap
Won’t this attract raccoons or possums?? I just want to catch a cat..
You should stay by the trap and keep and eye. The idea is that you spend some feeding on a consistent time so it is expecting the food. Then put the trap there and wait for it to come at dinner time.
No guarantees on what you catch.
The only problem with paper plates is windy days
thanks all try this my cat is under a shed i tried everything to get him for a month
no crackers?
Great. Some excellent tips, especially do not feed for 36 hours. And where to place the food. I don't think the cat I'm trying to trap is feral. I think it's lost. My niece's friends are missing a cat that fits this tabby's description. I'm hoping that it's that cat. Either way I've been feeding this cat for a month and it's winter in Alberta. I want to get it to a shelter.
This is interesting. Video is 9 years old. Has anything changed or improved since the posting of this video as far as technology and methods are concerned?
fish hands
huzzah! knowledge thank you :)
Thank you i needed help capturing a cat to send to a shelter who is a stray who keeps attacking neighborhood cats it just attacked my kitten who escaped :(
How to put a cat in jail..lol
Hown much price mam?
50 dollars
usually about $50 but u may be able to borrow one from a local vet
Mucha gente no sabe pero los gatos son un grave problema para nuestros ecosistemas
ya que son depredadores de otros animales que son necesarios en su hábitat natural, como son: aves, pequeños mamíferos, reptiles e insectos.
Debemos hacer conciencia y no salvar a gatos callejeros.
Algo muy importante es saber que los gatos en la mayoría de los países son considerados una especie invasora; es decir que no son originarios de esos lugares, si no que han sido introducidos por el hombre.
Recordemos que el equilibrio en la naturaleza ha tardado millones de años en crearse.
Many people do not know but cats are a serious problem for our ecosystems since they are predators of other animals that are necessary in their natural habitat, such as: birds, small mammals, reptiles and insects. We must raise awareness and not save stray cats. Something very important is to know that cats in most countries are considered an invasive species; In other words, they are not native to those places, but rather that they have been introduced by man. Remember that the balance in nature has taken millions of years to create.
This isn't the kind of trap I have. I can't for the life of me figure out how to use it.
I am in the same boat with mine. LOL
Harbor Freight. Sells good traps at low prices. There's coupons for %20 off.
some of the comments made here are disgusting, to say the least! shame on you! I hope you never ever get close to any animal, I fear what you'd do! I volunteer in a shelter, a low-kill one, saving over 80% of the stray cats we come across, and are very proud of this! I will be setting a humane trap up tomorrow, to reunite a lady and her beloved kitty, who didn't want to m ove house when she did!

There is less and less tolerance for this kind of thinking.
Will you marry me ?
A lot of people trap cats because they decimate native animals. If people wont keep them inside or in a fenced in area then they are neglecting them, period.
What is a feral cat
A feral cat is a wild cat. It is one step beyond a stray. Think wild animal not a lost pet. Usually they are born in the wild but stray can become feral.
Thank you. I am getting ready to trap a feral cat by my job. I have been trying to catch him without on for 9 months with no luck. I had purchase it an out door house that someone stole
Nonr of these traps are the same,.I'm looking and looking and cannot figure this fucking thing out,.whatever I catch in my ceiling is going to die
Setting a trap this way is ok .... but....when I trap I just use something tasty, usually reg. cat food and maybe some tuna but I think she kinda way over does it. I just put a little food on top of the trap and dripple a little to lure the cat inside and have never had any trouble getting any cat I was after.
No more than what u seem to be.
If doing this isn't your thing...than fine...look at some other youtube video.....making nasty comments make u the f........wildcat!
I'm about to get one of these for my backyard since my nut job neighbors want to feed the cats but never take them in so they run rampant running down property value! I'm turning them into a shelter. My freaking patio smells terrible with them migrating at night.
Good luck.
how would you bait that with the promise of a job?
Racoon traps are safer
why?
What is the name of trap you are referring to ?
Ang sowerti MO naman buti kapa meron kang culogan ng pusa sa man talang ako wala nakakaingit kanaman Saman talagang ako wala Lang akong Magawa sa pusa dahil wala akong kulogan ng pusa Ikaw ang dame dame mong kulogan kayanga Kaya MO silang itrap dahil may kulogan ng pusa ang sowerti Monaman buti kapa meron
@gatekeaper80 ask ur neighbours first before u set a trap
why? if your neighbors have unspayed/neutered cats they allow to run loose they are irresponsible pet owners. At my house any cat that feeds here and not fixed is trapped and fixed.
Thanks for the tips. Will be snuffing out alot more cats this season.
Chattin' to the next door neighbour the other day - I asked him if it was ok for me to jump the fence and take a dump on his back lawn. He sort of looked at me for a second or two and said if he saw me doin' that he'd have to get his gun out. I said great idea, next time I see your Siamese doin' that very same thing, I'll do the same and leave what's left of him on your front door mat. Haven't seen that Siamese in my back yard since, well...my garbage can *was* closer than his front door mat.
Lol that's a good one
Some day you will finish highschool.
Your in a class of pathetic and disgusting humans. You should be so proud of your place on this earth. Wasted space. Just needed to be said.
It is so easy to pick on something smaller than you big brave human, Karma is a bitch!
@@montysrescues5302 I will add that I hope that all that abuse animals get CANCER and they die a slow painfull death.
i never want to trap a cat to send to animal shelter that is cruel!!! that why i got a house to keep them aso get them spayed and fix is nex t and shots
Why do you state that you do not feed feral cats for 36 hours after you catch them?
BEFORE you catch them
Before so they'll be really hungry and ready to eat the food
yea, u can ask ur neighbors but if a cat is outside roaming free it is up for graps...I have trapped many cats and only a very few have had un updated chip to know who it belongs to and then they are informed NOT to let the cat out.
Thank you so much for sharing your video on trapping feral cats today I seen one down the backyard by the time I got my rifle out it disappeared into the bush now that I know how to trap them thanks to you I'll get myself a trap.I do believe when you put them into a garbage bin full of water you need to take it out not long after they die if rigor mortis sets in I'm told they're very hard to get out of the trap thank you once again god bless.
Ive had great success with KFC chicken.
So where is cat
They ate it
