Clamp one under your left arm so it is facing backwards. Put the end of the tail gently between your teeth and hold a back leg in each hand with your fingers on the underside of its feet.
At the appointed moment bite on the tail and wiggle your fingers.
Anybody watching and hearing the noise of the cat will be convinced that you are playing the bag pipes.
sargey said:here's an example of a "figure 4" deadfall that stuart demo'd at last years moot. it's perched in the base of a tree to get squirrels and would typically be baited with fungi.
if you want to practise making trap triggers in a humane way, i highly recommend the use of kittens and laundry baskets!
which is to say, use the basket upside down like a cribbet trap to catch live kittens, use turkey slices as bait
attempting to whittle kittens is both messy and exceedingly uncomfortable.
cheers, and.

just a word of caution in the uk these traps are illegal and should not be used practice by all means making these triggers is fun but dismantle your traps before you leave
