Cat Trap

Step 4Success!

Success!
When the cat pulls on the bait, the milk crate will fall down, trapping the curious creature. My cat fell for it five times - she kept springing the trap when I was trying to take pictures.

Very ingeneous. I wonder where I could get a big enough milk crate to catch moose?

Did you try using a milk crate truck? Same concept, you just may need bigger markers to prop it up with....

I think by then it would be cheaper to buy a moose.

If you're going to use this to actually catch a cat, you should tie a brick to the top to keep the cat inside from pushing the crate around.
