How I Caught Rosie

Well as most of you know, I was having a difficult time catching Rosie.  I had stopped trapping for several months to re-group mentally (and the weather was too cold).  With spring in the air and knowing that if I did not do something soon there would most likely be spring kittens on my street.  So, I called the clinic and requested a "drop trap."  There were so many requests that my name went somewhere on a list.  Three weeks went by (and you will notice from the Running Tally that I neutered 3 more male cats in that time) before I could get my hands on the trap.
Here's what one looks like:
 That day after work, I set the trap and waited...
                                                                 and waited...
                                                                          and waited...

an hour and a half later...she entered the trap, I pulled the string, and the trap came dropping down over her.  She was mine!
