Photo: Not What I Was Looking For
I set the trap last night to try to catch Creamsicle. Creamsicle is limping on one of his back legs, and Mr. L said he wasn’t putting any weight on it yesterday.
This cat showed up, leisurely snacked on the wet food in the trap, skillfully avoided tripping the trap, and walked out. Well, I watched him walk in and out several times before he finally walked away. He has the massive head and shoulders just like Creamy, and he may be the other cat who hangs around at the feeder in really cold weather, but I’m not certain.
Even so, he was fun to watch. So many smart kitties in the neighborhood.
So cute! But if he didn’t trip the trap, why would Creamsicle?
It depends upon how savvy a cat is. This cat is, apparently, pretty savvy. Sneaky managed to clean out all the fresh bait I put in the trap today without tripping it — she is a master of this (hence, her name). There’s a good chance Creamy won’t either, but since he wasn’t putting any weight on his back leg yesterday, I decided to try.
Seems he fits just fine 🙂

He fit just fine, but he was too smart to trip the mechanism. LOL.
