No suggestions for Daddy Cat, but what is the length of the trap? A much
longer length trap may be all that's needed to catch Little Sister, as that
may more than offset her quickness.


HI --- The trap is around 31" long, and the cat is very small (an 8
month old female). Honestly I don't see how she got out of it. I
caught that dang possum for a third time yesterday in this trap as
well.

I have good news and bad news about this situation. I caught Daddy Cat
tonight. I bought a Hav-a-hart trap (Racoon sized), lined it with
newspaper and covered it with towels. I put dry food inside leading
toward a bowl of Kentucky Fried Chicken (the boneless popcorn size
which I microwaved every few hours so it would smell).

Now the bad news ... Little Sister must be in heat. She's had 2
tomcats chasing her around today. I thought this was supposed to
happen in the Spring. It was 20 degrees last night. I'm going to keep
trying to trap her, though now it will be even harder. She was out
there and saw her daddy trapped. She keeps looking at me like she
knows what I'm up to:-)

Thanks again for all your suggestions.
