My neighborhood is plagued by stray cats, and I'm tired of them making messes in my garden. How can I make a homemade trap to catch these cats?

You can make a homemade trap for catching stray cats by using a large box or tote. Line the bottom of the box with some tall grass and a few treats (such as pieces of string, small pieces of meat, cheese, or peanut butter) to act as a lure. Place the lid on top of the box but flip it over so there is an opening at one end that allows the cats to enter. Place this trap in your garden and check it occasionally - you may be surprised by how quickly you'll fill it up!

One way to make a homemade trap for catching stray cats is to create an enclosed space with a small opening that they can enter. You can use an old bucket, some chicken wire, and a lid. Create the enclosed space by forming the chicken wire into a cylinder and attaching it to the lid of the bucket. Place some tasty smelling food or cat treats inside as bait, and then set it in your garden. Be sure to monitor it frequently so you can release any non-stray cats who may be curious enough to go in, but make sure to check on it often enough that you don't accidently trap any animals (including wildlife) inside accidentally for longer than necessary!
