Kids Playing Catch The Bait With Their Cat on the floor
Get them comfortable with the trap. Feed trap-shy cats out of unset traps in their normal feeding locations for a week or two before trapping again. Start with the food right by the entrance of the trap and gradually move it closer to the back each day.
Use a larger trap. Cats don’t like to feel trapped or boxed in. A larger trap with a taller opening and wider sides can be more inviting to a cat wary of entering an enclosed space.
Cover the trap. By placing a dark towel over the trap, without blocking the door, you create a space that looks dark, hidden, and safe to cats.
