it just occured to me that i might catch someones cat!
I would never forgive myself if i did so im not going to lay any snares unless i really am in that survival position.

I suggest that you learn what an animal run looks like, in particular a rabbit run,.. once you have learnt to identify the run you should be ok, cats will not use rabbit runs,... or more to the point rabbits will not travel where cats go

Having said that I am not a city boy, so maybe the cat has a different mind set in built up areas

i just thought; ill still be able to practise catching fish using a similar technique.
