Sasvermont, thank you for the pointers! I will grab an old towel or blanket and go out right now to cover the trap . . . that is a SUPER tactic!!

One question: Did you use cat food tuna, or human tuna??

Wow, you certainly had your hands full, running back and forth with the whole family over the course of several days . . . I'm sure it was gratifying once that they were all rounded up and altered.

My vet honors SNAP certificates (see my previous post on page 1), so I don't know if I could qualify for any additional reimbursement. I have since contacted Friends of Animals and their program charges considerably more per certificate . . . $55.00 for spay and $40.00 for neuter. I'm hoping my next trapped cat is female, because I only have a spay cert. left . . . guess I'd better order another neuter, just in case "Debra's Mom" IS caught and turns out to be "Debra's DAD" . . . Uh-oh.

Sara ~ When I get the film developed I will try and post the photo of Chief Half-Tail, providing it is clear enough . . . I took about 3 photos of him just in case. I also should have a photo of Sasquatch on the roll, but didn't take a photo of Theo for some reason. He still comes around so maybe if he happens to get re-trapped, I can then get his picture. Thanks for your support and interest!
