I’ve sprung the above trap on the kitten three times now, and every time it does t work; yes the lid closes, but in doing so it also moves towards me, and u covers the hole. Which the kitten goes straight back into.
Okay, so this time the tap is taped to the angle twixt skirting boards and floor, and help up by a prop (aka a drum stick!). Hopefully the next time he ventures up into our room – which he’s doing regularly – I can spring g the trap on him successfully.
