Observation...
Had a feral Molly or Queen hanging around the back paddock the other week and the Boss remarked about the disappearance of the turtle neck doves and Peewees from the front yard, Actually, i've noticed the Noisy Miners going of their brains along the tree line but just thought it was the old carpet snake starting to move around in the warmer weather, so pussey had to go - yep trapped.
Next thing up pops a tom and same result, 1/2 can Aldi cat food in the trap and Bingo.
All was quiet on the home front until this week when Tomcat No. 2 appeared on the scene.

No worries, same scenario but no go.

Target TC would approach the trap, walk around it, smell in from a few feet away but would not go upto the trap.
A check revealed that the carpet lining the floor (can't have pussy getting sore feet from walking in the tap) was the same as used for the previous tomcat. So change carpet, set trap and early hours of this morning, Bingo! success, one very old, angry and battle scared pussy.
Has anyone else came across this, re tom cats refusing to enter the trap with the smell of another tom still there
