In the video, the neighbor's cat looked like it would have walked right in if there was something more to it's liking. Are cats in the wild this curious?

If cats are there they can be caught fairly easy . All in exposed sets as well. Cats are not tough to outsmart. The toughest part about cats is they are.....well.....a cat. One minute they are curious, the next minute they don’t care. One day they might see a flag and walk right up to it, the next day they might stand 20 yards away from it and stare for hours. One day they want to check out scent, the next day they don’t care. Don’t have to worry about them like coyotes. They don’t care if there is human scent, an exposed trap, small cage trap. It’s what makes them fun. If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.
