Hi catlovers. I have a question regarding live trapping a beautiful kitty. Is it easy to do? Is there anything I should know before I put the trap out? Is there any way to avoid trapping a skunk instead of a cat? The reason I am asking is because where I work there's this gorgous, large, black cat who has been hanging around the highway, I can see him from my office window and I know it's just a matter of time before he's squashed by the 75 MPH traffic and it's making me nervous. We do have skunks and possoms and other small wildlife around here, don't know what I'd do if I caught a skunk.
Anyone with suggestions? If this kitty is owned by someone, I feel he'd be better off in a home where he can't play in highway traffic, so I don't feel bad about trapping him and rehoming him if need be. He's been hanging around the highway for nearly a month now. He does seem to know not to run out into the road, otherwise he'd be squashed by now. I just want to help him. I called the animal shelter and they suggested I try to trap him myself, but I have never trapped a cat before.
Anything I should know? Should I attempt it? Thanks in advance for any advise.
