Trying To Trap Mr Black

Most of you would know I've been trying to trap the elusive Mr Black to get him treated for mange and to be neutered. I bought a new trap as the one I had borrowed wouldn't shut completely. I fried a nice sardine, put a plate of tuna behind the sardine, spread some tuna on the newspaper leading into the trap, set up the trap, hid behind the wall and waited.

The trap works like a mouse trap.  See the ginger cat?  He's my neighbour's cat.  NOT the intended target.

SHOOO!!!!!  Mr Ginger kitten starts to eat up the tuna.

SHOOOOOO!!!!!

Now Mr Ginger's older sister decides to check out the tuna

All the while I was trying to remain quiet and hidden, Noni (neighbour's cat) decides to keep me company by rubbing and mewing 

HEY YOU!  SHOOOOOO!

Mr Ginger couldn't resist the tuna and finally got himself trapped.  HAPPY NOW?

So after several hours hiding, or rather, TRYING to hide, and numerous mosquito bites to show for it, I gave up and gave the remaining tuna to Noni.  And what was Mr Black doing while all these were happening? He was sitting at the opposite side of the road and I swear he was laughing.

I'm going to try to camouflage the trap with some leaves and twigs and see if it helps.  But first I'll have to speak with my neighbor to lock up his cats for the night.....And remember to put mosquito repellent the next time...
