The fence I put up is like Hotel California. It's easy to get in and difficult to get out. He's the only one of my cats who has figured out how to do it.

@ that’s too funny, Hotel California lol Thanks for sharing and also all the help you give freely 🤍🕊️

I didn't know that about the base of the tail. No wonder they go nuts when you touch or brush that area.

@@Dodgerzden yes n their face n under chin. Everywhere kitties like being petted is spreading scent for them, lol.

I think it's just skin and fur. He's not having trouble walking.

@@Dodgerzden :(

I was sleeping. He's still nervous around me, just not as scared as he used to be. I walked into the room yesterday when he was on the window sill and he had his ears back and was meowing to me. Normally, he would hear me coming and be inside his safe space.

@@Dodgerzden he’s getting there. Bringing in a feral is hard cause they always want back out. Thank you for giving him a home! 💗

I agree. I recently was tracking another lost black cat at a rest stop on I-10. He was not interested in going into a box trap and so I put out the roundhouse trap and he was not interested in that either. It took a month, but eventually he was trapped in a large box trap meant for a medium sized dog and returned to his caretaker. I think the trap may work on cats who like to enter small spaces, but I have not encountered that yet.

Yup. It was the best possible outcome. It warms my heart. I don't see that very often.

Yay, #32! But seriously, the channel is really only for me to archive videos of my cats and for the people who are missing cats because this is the easiest way to send a large file to them.

@@Dodgerzden I understand. I appreciate all you do.

That's the point of a circular trap. If they don't go into a box trap, it's worth trying this one. I've only used it a few times and I usually put it out somewhere near the box trap at the same time. I don't do TNR. I try to trap people's lost cats and so I am looking to trap a specific cat and I've always been able to eventually get the ones I'm looking for to go into the box trap. Here's the video of one time I used it. The black cat was the one I was looking for and eventually caught in the box trap. Go figure. ruclips.net/video/f0pcDRmVF24/видео.html&ab_channel=DodgerzDen

I did use the bait cup. But I put a spoonful of food on the floor to lure in the cat, which I also do when using a box trap. And I agree it's a little small and even if a large cat goes in, the trap door could possibly close on their tails. Although it would not injure the cat. I tested it on my finger and there is almost zero pain. I think I demonstrated that in another video. I will only use this trap if I can't get a cat to go into a box trap, which is rare. And after shipping, it cost me $144. Here's the link to my demonstration video: ruclips.net/video/KBqRc_GItCE/видео.html

@@Dodgerzden thank you for explaining!

I don't think so. It does look like it would hurt but In the demonstration video I made right after buying it, I tested the impact of the door slamming shut on my finger. But it does look like it would hurt. ruclips.net/video/KBqRc_GItCE/видео.html

Yes and no. As I said in the summary, I think it would have worked if I didn't put bait food on the floor of the trap so that the cat has to go all the way in to set off the trip plate. The last cat seemed to not go in all the way and she set off the trip plate just from jostling the cage on the way out.

I have not used the trap except to see if my own cats go into it and they have and the door swung shut. But I did have both a traditional trap and the Roundhouse trap side by side and the cat went into the box trap. Go figure.

This particular cat looks like my neighbor's lost cat. I'm posting these videos so that I can send cat owners who lost a cat a video link to a cat that may be their lost cat. Sending a private video is very difficult by email, Messenger, etc. because of the size of the file.

Some of the videos are not so happy. They are mostly for me to archive in case I lose them. All of the cats except for the black one, Pipsqueak, are no longer alive and I'm in the process of creating a memorial room for them as a method of catharsis. Thanks for watching.
