  • Patent number: 6484672
    Abstract: A cat trap and cage for capturing, transporting, and temporarily housing stray, unclaimed, or feral cats. The trap is an elongated, box-shaped enclosure having a trap door at one end and a guillotine type sliding door at the other end. The trap door is mounted on hinges attached to the top wall of the cage and actuated when the cat steps on a rectangularly shaped pedal in the floor of the enclosure, causing the trap door to rotate to a closed position in order to trap the cat inside the enclosure. The guillotine door is used to obtain normal access to the cat, and the trap may be locked end to end with a litter box having a similar guillotine door. The trap door includes a detachable “squeeze” panel which may be used to urge the cat against the guillotine door at the other end of the enclosure.
