Late but: Spray the blanket you cover the cage with Feliway and try not to
use a blanket that has been washed in detergent or fabric softener with
fragrance.
Traps can be picked up at most Farm/Feed Stores too.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Wow, I did not know you could buy traps at
Lowes/Home Depot. I was
asking the local feral people about traps a while

that the local feral
people do not like HavAHeart traps...they like
TruCatch traps aka "the
nice brown traps."
