I have been using the Tomahawk drop trap for 2 yrs or so - the only thing that I don’t like is that in my experience most of the time they try to get out (even if the drop box is completely covered after trapping) and they bang their faces against the metal. Especially when you trap more than one cat. They end up hurting their foreheads o and/or noses- Any recommendations?
I was going to say it's best to cover the trap as quickly and quietly as you can but it sounds like you're already doing that. Maybe trying cat nip or silver vine as bait as it sometimes chills them out and they might not be as apt to bounce off the walls? I've done this in box traps but I haven't used it in a drop trap so you might be more difficult to use if you're trying to catch several and if they are rolling around it might be harder to get them into the right position to drop it safely. But - worth a shot to see how it goes? I'm going to ask Bryan if he has any other suggestions and I'll post them back here if he's got some. (Are you part of the Community Cats Podcast Facebook group? It's worth looking it up because they are a pretty active little brain trust of experienced cat folks and they usually have great suggestions!)
Hi, can anybody tell me where I can get the hand out to make the trap?
