Got one cat set in today.  This bait site has been getting hit every night.  Hoping for a cat in the am.    One rat today

Well I’m not sure what’s going on.  They cat I had hitting bait every single night went mia the day I swapped the bait from tree to in the trap set right at the bait tree we got 3” of snow.  Cat has not come back in just over a week. May pull it and move to the next bait site that’s 2 miles away that is still getting hit.  Should I rebait the tree?  I’m not sure if the cat was hitting both of these spots and abandoned the tree with the trap or it just hasn’t come this way since the snow.

Can you set both spots?  That's what I would do.  If the first one has been caught or something else happened to it, then another one will move in.  Could be he's just made or found another kill and has just been hanging out there.  I'd give it time.

I would give it between 1-2 weeks then as simple as moving it 50 yards could be the ticket
Keep at it !!! Hang a bird wing with a little castor smear on it with some fishing line so it can flutter

And you're positive it was a cat?
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

not 100%.   How many critters can get 6’ up a tree and eat on meat while hanging there.

Raccoons are pretty handy at it and they like beaver too. Hopefully its a Tom with a big range that just needs to swing back around

That’s true it could have been a coon but you would think after almost 2 weeks I would have caught the coon that was eating on the bait every night for a week

Hang a bird wing with a little castor smear on it with some fishing line so it can flutter

Used to use a similar method in Montana. Would throw a tin full of cheap sardines in the cubby, then, douse some juice on the container and tie it to a branch up above/close to the set by a piece of trapping wire. It flutters in even the slightest breeze and reflects in the moonlight. Cats are very curious and are drawn to the flash. They don’t smell that well but have good eyesight  ;)
