Today, I had more spectators for my cat spay. The trap proved to be a successful method in capturing cats since three are caught already. People wanted to know how the cat trap worked and I showed them where to put the bait and how the door shuts itself when the bait is touched. My Maasai friend exclaims.

‘I know how this works! It is just like leopard traps‘

‘You have seen a leopard trap? ‘

‘Yup, I seen it at my home area and it works. It caught a mama‘

‘Mama leopard was caught? ‘

‘No. Maasai mama was caught’

Apparently mama saw big square metal box in the middle of savannha and went inside to investigate. Then she saw a meat hanged inside and decided to pull on it. Metal door shut behind her and she screamed for help. My friend was one of the guys who came to rescue the mama out of the leopard trap.
