Will this trap be GOOD for trapping cats? I am having a problem of neighbors cats peeing in my flower garden and leaving yellow spots!

Too small a cat would have to force itself into it. See Havahart Web page for recommendations.

I think so. It's large enough for a cat. My friend borrowed mine to catch kittens she saw were motherless so she could find other homes for them. Try putting some tuna in it. Good luck.

I do not know. I have not seen any trace of cats in my yard since I have had it installed, they were never my big problem deer are mine it does keep some of them away not always, as I think they are used to the lights in the city. I know they work great in the country where they are not exposed to a lot of lights.

I have only caught mice with the trap. And I can tell you it has been quite successful at that task. I haven't placed it near my garden so I cannot be sure it would not catch voles or moles. However, Victor never mentions catching voles or moles in any of their descriptions of their product. So I think you should probably invest your money else ware in dealing with your particular infestation.

Without a doubt. During my issues I caught more than 30 of them. They just have to land one foot on it and they are done. This only applies to the larger traps. I can't vouch for the smaller traps sold in bulk packs of 60.

The same way you set the trap door. I have caught 9 feral cats with this trap. Don't know about other animals if it works for them.

Yes, this trap can be used for cats. Cat food is a great bait to use to lure the cat into the trap.

This trap is pretty useless to catch squirrels. I would imagine chipmunks are about the same. All they have to do is roll the unit over and the latch will move enough to allow the doors to open - and bye bye animal. I recommend the Havahart 1078. Once you catch anything in there it will not be able to get out, period. It is totally worth the extra money.

I have alot of rabbits but never set my sights on using this trap to catch them (caught skunks and Racoons) if you use this for rabbits use Kale (red or green) as bait should work great

Well I used sardines to catch skunks that were digging up lawn for grubs. It could injure paws if they pull to get out. Very hard to set and release. My son did it. I suppose a cat could be attracted to bait

Sorry, I do not have an answer for that without knowing the circumstances. Maybe the traps are not filled with enough water ?? I never had problems with any of mine. Wish I could be of more help...

I am currently trying it for rabbits ... doesn't seem to be keeping them out of my garden.Also, be aware it is very stinky and red in color so it will stain.

We have lots of stray cats and they never got caught. The way the trap works is the coon has to reach in and pull up in order to trigger it, so it would be very hard for a cat to trigger it. If you are worried about cats than bait it with mini marshmallows. This is what I did. The racoons were all over the marshmallows and the cats ignored it. If a cat did get caught in it somehow it would probably be fine. It never broke the skin or any bones on the coons that I caught, but there is now way a coons getting out.

Never had that problem. Have had a cat or some varmint drag my trap away after it had caught a gopher & lost it.

I would suggest that after reading the operating information for the trap, that you redirect this question to the manufacturer. I am not going to be on their tech support team. I think the basic idea behind the traps might be ultimately effective, but maybe the implementation in the hardware is less than optimal.

I would think if it keeps cats away, (very well I might add), it would keep rabbits away. Not Positive but it is logical.You may have to turn up to max output which is a lot because my neighbors complained it woke them up, so I turned it down a bit.

Yes! Absolutely!I set mine between the lawn and my woods, baited with peanut butter and birdseed. I read oatmeal works well, I have caught more with this trap than any other. I have 3 which is expensive but I am taking voles!
