"Why are you trapping them in the first place?

The only thing I ever tried to trap was cats and I ended up getting
possums and raccoons. I gave up. No animals were harmed but one of the
possums was trying to set up housekeeping in the trap. I was just
tired of feeding him.
The cat I was trying to get tangled with something bigger, probably a
bobcat and he was shredded in the front yard."


Good question. The John must be hoping his wife won't notice the squirrels and he can sneak a quick snack...probably raw.
I doubt he'd even notice the fur.
Wife bought and set a live trap for a Norway rat that appeared in the neighbourhood but only caught a couple of Crackles.
Someone else must have gotten the rat...no sign of him for a couple of months.
