You know everything about mouse traps. Did you know there are also cat traps for catching stray and feral cats without harming them? Feral and stray cats can become a big problem for flower gardens, food factories and some other businesses. Or sometimes you may have to catch stray cats for a veterinary program. For whatever reason, the best way to catch a cat without using a large sac is a commercial cat trap.
Your reason to catch a stray cat may vary. It may be to rescue the cat from hard living conditions on the street, or to prevent it from harming its environment. The cat trap comes with a rescue cage, cage divider, cover, door hook and instructions. Before using such a trap for catching cats you must read the instructions carefully. Because not doing so, may cause harm to you or the cat. The cage divider is used for feeding the cat if you are going to use the cage as a shelter for a short time. As bait you can use favorite foods of cats. Fish, meat, sardines and canned tuna are known to work best when you want to attract the attention of the neighborhood cats. You can also use commercially sold cat foods. Especially wet foods are ideal for this purpose. And of course there is catnip and catnip oil. Cats can’t resist the smell of catnip. It is like a magnet for them. However, using catnip oil may go beyond your purpose, because it may attract cats from very far locations.
Some animal shelters use cat trap periodically for shots and other medical treatment. Vat trap has a very long useful life because it is made of corrosion and rust resistant metals. Cat trap has a collapsible design. You can save space storing it when not needed.
To use the cat trap effectively you must first find a place where feral and stray cats visit frequently. You must place the cage on a straight surface against a wall or on away frequented by cats and get away from the trap because cats wouldn’t go inside the trap if they sense a person around. You must check the trap as frequent as possible and put its lid if a cat is caught in the trap. The lid would make the cat more relaxed. There must be written instructions with the cage about feeding and giving water. You must definitely comply with these rules, because when trapped all animals are dangerous and cats are not an exception. They may hurt you or themselves while trying to run.
If you are going to transport the cat, you shouldn’t put the trap with a cat inside, in your trunk. Because that will make the cat agitated and it would be hard for the cat to breath. Once you catch the cat, there are lots of animal shelters where you can deliver the cat and possibly provide a better living for it.

How to Solve That Cat Problem without Harming the Cats
First you made them smell the leftovers and took them far away to give the food. The next day they came back. Then you started to shoo them where ever you see. They just kept licking themselves as if they heard nothing. You bought a toy dog, which barks and waggles its tail when anything comes close to it. They started to play with its tail heedless of the barking. So you went to a dog shelter and recued the fiercest looking dog. A week later they were playing together in your garden. You tried everything people told you to get rid of the stray cats frequenting your garden. Nothing proved useful. For a last resort you made a “Google search” in the Internet and found this page. Do you know what that means? It means that the time for more drastic measures has come!

With drastic we don’t mean you to go to the nearest local gun shop and ask help from Smith and Wesson or late Mr. Colt. We won’t even tell you to buy a BB gun and start target practice. These are drastic measures we will write about but they are also the most humane measures for a person in your shoes.
There are various cat repellents in the market. Some are chemical compounds with a smell cats don’t like. However there are also organic repellents to be used with a clear conscience. These repellents contain oil of black pepper, Piperine and capsaicin. Piperin is the alkaloid which makes black pepper pungent and capsaicin is the active ingredient in red or chili pepper. These substances are perfectly healthy for garden plants and humans. They are even healthier for cats but cats just don’t like them. When they smell or taste these substances, they run like hell and start to sing their songs in somebody else’s garden.
Cat repellents can be used for those who don’t want cats in their gardens or tearing their garbage bags. They can also be used by cat owners. If there are any cat owners who started reading this article and who are still reading, against all odds, here is their award for being able to endure the previous paragraphs. You can use the cat repellents for your house plants and with tomcats that have a spraying problem. If you just use the cat repellent on the places he likes to spray, you will see that those places will be out of reach for your cat.
If a cat is very persistent and it developed a taste for pepper you still have a last option. There are metal cat traps for you to catch the cat without harming it. When you catch your stubborn cat you can take it to an animal shelter or to the other side of town without any trouble. If the cat returns, we advise you to take it home and make it the pet of your house. This way it can mess up your garden only when you let it out.
