I was excited last evening - it was a bit warmer than it had been and the wind had stopped - I fed the kitties and Smokey
was on the porch - I fixed him a bowl of yummie goodness and set the trap he walked around and around the trap and would skamper off when he would see me watching ... so I went in the other room, did other stuff and heard a WHAP ... I yelled - I GOT HIM! and went running to the door
I in fact had a big grey kitty ... however it was WaterMelon
who was NOT happy at all about being trapped ... so mad that he didnt eat any of the food
I got him out and into the house and re-set the trap as it was still nice out and Smokey was in the yard
I went back to doing "stuff" and about 30 minutes later I heard WHAP! ... I said woo hoo got him this time ...
OPOSSUM ....
obviously this is not the one I had in my trap but you get the point ... so the Opossum DID eat all the food ... I opened the door and the little bugger just sat there for like an hour
Once he went on his way I fixed Smokey some dinner and he came and ate .. .maybe next time
ahh the trials and tribulations of TNR - the real challenge is catching the one you REALLY want.... good luck!
