If you go with a live trap and are getting cats in your trap, call the city to come get them. No doubt your city has an ordinance against cats and dogs running loose. So if you get a cat in the trap on YOUR property ,let the city deal with it.
Letter of the law aside, I don’t think this is a great move.
Keep in mind, you are the one who is using bait which is attracting all manner of animals. Getting the neighbor’s cat put in the city jail after you put out a can of tuna isn’t going to win you the Neighbor of the Year contest and might invite a lot of other attention that you don’t want.
Good advice from others re making sure that live traps are legal and allowed.
To be honest, it might be easier just to protect the bait tanks better. As my father discovered, what you do AFTER you catch an animal in the live trap is more of a PITA than actually catching it. I told him that the way things are going, he was going to catch some endangered species in the trap and the Cat Lady next door would report him to the Feds and the next thing we’d know, he’d be writing to us from a cell in Guantanamo Bay.
