The longer a cat is wild, the more it's scared of people (usually). Put food out for the cats. They'll gain more and more trust with you if you feed it for a certain amount of time. Try to use a *humane* trigger cage (a cage that snaps shut after an animal enters the cage, no its not a mouse trap). Put food in the trigger cage, and when the cat goes in, it'll be locked in. Then do whatever you want with the cat (if your not going to keep it, take it to a NO-KILL HUMANE SOCIETY). Always be humane.

Put out food for it regularly, the good stuff, wet cat food, brand name not store brand, and attempt to approach it slowly when it comes to eat. Eventually it will learn that you aren't going to hurt it and it will become your friend. Then you can train it to kill mice and rats for you.

Look up your local animal control office and give them a call. They will remove the stray cats from your property for free.

How do you trap a cat?

You can use a wooden or hard plastic box and a stick, put food under the box, tie a string to the stick and prop the box up on the string, and watch from inside, holding the string, pull it when the cat enters the box. Or you can try to tame the cat, which might work better in some cases, take food to it and talk to it and eventually try to pet it, and if it becomes used to you, you can just put it in a pet carrier. The above is a common way.... however if the cat is a stray/ferril cat then it is possible it could carry rabbies,and it is very possible that the cat would attack you when you tried to move it from under the plastic box into a carrier.... There are several kinds of inexpensive live traps that you can purchase to catch cats,baiting the trap with tuna fish or canned cat food will most likely catch you the cat and then you can transport the trap and the cat to the shelter and you dont risk being harmed... If you are not interested in relocating the cat there are also several other kinds of traps available that will effectively solve the problem of stray cats..
