Good morning catland,

I just trapped our local stray cat using a "trap with a heart", which is similar to the one that Fuzzy317 describs. It works quite well in combination with a little bit of tuna fish in the food dish. If you talk with your local humane society sometimes they have traps that they will loan out to private citizens.

I would also suggest that if you do use a trap to cover the bottom of it. It seems that some cats do not like to walk on the wires and they will avoid it. I have also found that it can be helpful to cover the trap with an old sheet or something to disguise it. (Our stray cat was older and had plenty of experience with cat traps so it took longer to get her.)

I hope that some of things helps. Good luck with getting him.
