10+ years trapping and I'm still learning and reminded that each cat and trapping location is unique. I have lined traps with newspaper, old place mats and towels for years to encourage cats to walk their sweet little paws into a trap.

• For the 1st time, I had a cat escape a trap because of a towel in a trap that she was able to yank hard enough to open the trap door and escape.
• The cats where I'm trapping now prefer nothing on the trap floor. Since I've gone 'down to the wire' mesh, I'm trapping cats faster. Go figure?!

Four cats traps so far this week. Woohoo!
