The scary thing about these traps is that every one is different. We could be looking at a 4-rub trap, a 1-rub trap, or even a dud.

The risk is worth it

[–] devilkitty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Exactly. That’s why they are so very effective.

My cat does this. Never knew there was a name for it. Thank you!

Edit: He is also a weegie. Is this a breed thing?

As far as I know Sake is a grey tabby but maybe he's a weegie?

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Looked up photos and he's definitely not a norwegian forest cat, just an extra fluffy (20+ lbs) domestic shorthair tabby.
