Or heavy rock, if thats all that is around
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

10-15 ft 3/32 7x7 extension cable. Double ferrell and loop on each end. Cable around a tree, between boulders that fell together(except sandstone), etc. Use s hook, j hook, or even easier a quicklink through the trap swivel and through the cable loop.
Run the cable around whatever your anchoring to, then back through the loop on the ither end, then attach it too your trap. Very easy and the only way i secured traps when cat trapping high desert country in the mountains.

you can tie a drag to a tree also with some tie wire. Cable works great but it gets kinked up with catchs and will end up discarded and replaced. not cause its weakened but because it gets to be a real pain. the trade off is a drag chain and tie wire are lots heavier. Im just trying to give you some choices.

A cat in a tree is still a cat if you ask me. It's not my fav place to find them but I check too many empty traps I guess some I'm glad when I git one
