Just make sure you are legal,you need food and water in the humane trap from what I was told by humane society!Especially now that you have advertised what you are doing!I did the same thing with all the stray cats,I caught a few neighbors cats and had a lot of neighbors mad at me! :bdid:

Too friggin bad about them being mad!  Humane society doesn't know crap about anything, I wouldn't believe a word they say.  The only reason I would bring one of the little pos's to the humane society would be to cost them and the owner some money.

Your cat is in my yard, it is vermin and I WILL kill it just as I would a skunk, coon, opossum or whatever other vermin didn't belong there.  I will not torture it, however tempted I might be, but it will be dispatched nonetheless.  The trap would not be visible from outside of my property however.

If I let my dogs do what people allow their cats to do I would be fined, what's up with irresponsible cat owners?  And, make sure your neighbors have their cats liscensed, cat's are supposed to be, if dogs are, in most jurisdictions.

Traps are a lot of work...here is a bad idea I do not recommend, sneak cat food over to your neighbors porch at night then the cats/skunks/coons become their problem, unless you like your neighbors in which case we're back to trapping.  :tung: :bdid: 
Honesty is the best policy,  but insanity is a better defense.

I have chickens and can demonstrate they are after them....  Any animal, domestic or not killing or attempting to kill my livestock is fair game.

I will probably check around for lost cat signs to see if there are any rewards :chuckle: if not I will take them to the pound.  I have a few bird feeders out that birds and squirrels visit.  I like them a lot more than the cats that run around.  I have one neighbor next door that his cat gets out sometimes but he tries to keep it indoors.  It has a collar and is well taken care of.  If I end up catching his cat I will just take it home.  I can check the trap a couple times a day so the cats wont be neglected or left for long periods of time.

Kain,  Have you caught anything in that trap yet? Was it still there in the morning?  I bought 4 of those traps from a NWCO in Buckley who was going out of buisiness; now I know why he went out of buisiness.  The cage itself is very sturdy and its a nice size, but the latch is ridiculous. There is a metal tab on the bottom which is supposed to keep the door from swinging all the way back after it fires. The metal tab is too flimsy and the door swings past it. Then the coon just pulls the door open and leaves after his meal! I really hate to educate coons like that. It works a little better after bending the tab up, but it's still not 100%.

Nothing yet but I know what you mean about the tab.  Luckily mine is very secure.  I didnt torque on it but it seemed solid enough.  Wholesale Sports has these traps at their store and the smaller one I looked at the latch was was like you described.  I knew I wasnt getting a great trap when I got it but it will do fine on kitties and small coons.
