We once had a squirrel or other rodent problem in a home we owned in town, and put a live trap to catch and relocate the critter.

We put corn in the trap, thinking "perfect squirrel or raccoon" food

The next morning, we drove in to find the trap had indeed caught something...something BIG....all we saw was this square wire cage with orange tiger-striped fur sticking out all over..

Yep, one HUGE, frightened, tabby cat! I don't know how he got in there or why an ear of field corn was attractive.....but had to practically dismantle the trap because the opening wasn't big enough to let him out. Poor kitty! We wondered if he chased a critter in there and ate it, causing him to be too big to get out
