They will hold them with a pad catch. Their foot would need to put centered in the trap. They will hold them.

Good to know i figured they would be close they are a little bigger jaw spread than a mb 550 i figured on 24 hour checks they probably work ok

One of my favorite all around traps used to be the 1.65 with #2 music wire springs. Held everything I ever caught in them. They will definitely hold a cat.

Cats are not hard to hold. 1.5s will hold cats well.
