![]() My steering mechanism's motor fit nicely between the cage bars (Pic 4), which means that it won't budge easily. I spaced the trigger far enough away from the trap door so it wouldn't interfere with the door closing, but otherwise the placement isn't crucial. Next comes the steering mechanism (trigger). Next I estimated where the trigger would need to be and attached the circuitry/batteries to the cage with cable ties (Pic 3). This will make it easier to tie it to the trap. Then I drilled holes into the circuitry/battery case (Pic 2). Mine slipped into place well enough, but I'd consider hot gluing it. To overcome this, introduce the R/C Cage Trap, which allows the user to activate the trap only when the right cat enters:įirst I did what I could to protect the electronics by reattaching a flimsy black cover that came with the car (Pic 1). ![]() A traditional plate-trigger cage trap offers no control over which animals are trapped. One of the obstacles is trapping unwanted cats or other animals, which is not uncommon. However it can be difficult to efficiently trap every cat in a colony for spaying and neutering - sometimes the process takes months. TNR is a humane and effective way to control feral cat populations while allowing the cats to live out their lives. For this reason, some colonies are killed or trapped and euthanized. ![]() Some feral cats and their colonies are a nuisance to restaurants or other businesses. || More engineering projects || Everything I makeįeral cat colonies are groups of wild, undomesticated cats. If you enjoy this project, then check out my books: Rubber Band Engineer and Duct Tape Engineer. This is ideal for people who practice trap-neuter-release (TNR) to control feral cat populations. This Instructable will show you how to make a cage trap that can be remotely activated.
