how did i end up trapping my neighbor’s wild cat?

I never thought I’d be the person setting up a cat trap in my backyard, but here we are. It all started when I noticed a scruffy gray cat sneaking around every evening, stealing my own cat’s food. I figured, why not help him out and get him checked by a vet? First, I had to convince my neighbors to stop leaving food out. That was a whole group chat saga. Once everyone was on board, I started putting out tuna at the same time every night. The wild cat got used to my routine and, eventually, I left an open trap nearby so he’d get comfortable. The real test came when I skipped a night of feeding. The next evening, I set the trap with extra stinky sardines. Within an hour, I heard the door snap shut. Success! I took him to the vet, got him fixed, and released him back where I found him. Now, he’s still around, but the late-night yowling has stopped, and my backyard is a little more peaceful. #catcare #feralcats #petstories #animalwelfare #Pets #Cats
