Seem to work well, I have not tried catching a cat in them yet, I have caught some grey fox though. I’ll get a call about a cat at some point. I really only damage control trap and just bought these last year. wws

They would make it into the trigger wires and then back out. The big plus with the Comstocks is not worrying about exposed parts freezing up in the bad weather we get.
