I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.

Smushed Trap Now Works!
I crunched this trap between my rear tire and the edge of the garage when backing out a couple years back. It was seriously smushed and would not work. However, today, short on traps, I went at fixing it.
First I removed the rod that goes from the trigger plate to the door trip mechanism. It was bent. I then unbent the door trip mechanism so it would work and lubricated it.
Then I flattened out and unscrunched the trigger plate itself. I removed the transfer door, which took a lot of prying and pounding and pounded it out and it's bracket out so it would slide again.
Then I replaced the solid metal trigger rod with picture hanging wire and adjusted it juuuussstt right.
Lastly, I pounds out the metal plate on top of the trap and re attached it.
It's my round the corner trap.
It's the coolest bent up beat up rusted out trap ever!!!!
