Smart cat? Dumb cat? Nutsy, can you come to Arkansas and help train this cat?

Critters come to our yard. We've caught lots of them in the trap and we give them a free one-way trip ticket to the big woods outside of town.

We've had a troublesome visitor lately that has done nasty things to our back porch. So the trap is set. Now we may know why we haven't caught anything lately.

My godson Nutsy would be able to perhaps help me with this problem. Is the cat guarding the trap to keep a friend out? Is the cat waiting to laugh if some possum gets trapped? Is the cat showing that she's too smart to go in the trap? Help me, Nutsy!!
