This isn't because of the good prices it's because I have never caught a cat and I really want to next year. I have a few spots where land owners are seeing cats and I wanted to know what is the trap you guys would pick if you were targeting cats and needed to buy traps? Looking at both footholds and cages

I love my MB550 os

Duke 650’s are a fine cat trap that are ready to go right out of the box.

I too love my MB550's, a great trap for many different critters including cats. Bridger #2's if your on a budget.

They aren't hard to hold, nor are they hard on equipment. The main reason guys use larger and/or stronger traps for them are to provide a larger target area and to combat freeze/thaw. If you aren't dealing with freeze/thaw I'd use whatever you have available.

We get a lot of freeze thaw here in Missouri. I don’t mind buying good traps. I want good stuff my sons and hopefully some day grandkids can use

UI like me some MB 550's for cats and coyotes
