I've been having trouble with a few of my neighbors cats and I have been trapping them and turning them over to animal control. I thought I had trapped all the trouble makers but I decided to leave the trap out for a few more days to ensure I got them all.
A couple of times now I noticed the trap had been sprung but nothing was inside the cage. I tested the mechanism and it was working fine. Hmmmmm..... Ghost cats????
So I've been peeking out my window from time to time trying to see if I could get a glimpse of the ghostly cat that was somehow tripping the mechanism without being captured. Impossible so I thought.
So today I was peeking out my window and I saw this beast approaching the trap. Slowly it walked into the trap, oblivious as to the danger of being trapped. Is this the phantom I thought? It paused and looked about. It seemingly had no fear as to what was about to happen. It walked in a little further and paused. Surely this can't be the beast, I thought. It then walked in further and stepped upon the weight sensitive mechanism that causes the rear door to slam shut.
BANG! the door slammed shut. Did I trap the beast? Was it just my imagination?

No, it was not my imagination. The beast quickly ran right out through my cage. Here's a photo I took later in the day when the beast was elsewhere, looking to get into more mischief...
