You are all so great! I copied the directions for making a drop trap and will put them to use this week end. I'll also get some KFC (such a sacrifice!) to share.

I hope my neighbor doesn't mind if I leave the trap in his yard for a few days. This cat doesn't come around at the same time or even on set days. I usually see him at 6:30 AM.

I've been doing the 'baiting' routine with the old trap. It worked on most of the others in past years. The floor of the trap has it's own carpet, cut out to accomodate the catches. I have found that a lot of ferals are afraid to enter a completely covered area, so I haven't been covering the trap.

My week end starts tomorrow, so I have 4 days to work on him. I'll let you know how I do.

Thanks a bunch.
