Nope, only nips in his ears are from cat teef ;)
Yeah, they’ll scan him for a chip, Susan suggested that too.
I am curious to find out his approximate age, and I’m wondering about his limp. His right front leg has some issues.
Wonder if you got Hobo this evening? If not, you might be able to borrow a smaller live trap with an easier trigger, possibly from a feral cat organization, or your vet. (When we were on our kitty-trapping spree, we borrowed a large live trap from our neighbor, and it didn’t work nearly as well as our own medium-size live trap.)
When we lived in WA, a local feed store “sold” live traps, but would let you return them after use, minus five bucks for each day you kept it out. So they were essentially renting them for five bucks a day, and if you never brought it back they didn’t have to sweat it. Anyway, you might ask around to see if you can borrow or rent a smaller, “easier” live trap from someone. Best of luck!
