um i dont no if this would go here i dont really no if its considered a wepoin but what the hay
how can i make a simple animal trap for an animal around the size of a cat?
i can only find traps for sale on google eny good sites on trap making?

There are probably loads of good sites on trap making, but surely you have a survival guide that tell you some traps?  Are you trying to kill the cat, or just catch it?  If you want to kill it, deadfall, Samson's deadfall, primitive spring loaded bear trap, throat snare (that might not kill it, but if you leave it long enough...), all of them will work.  If you just want to catch it, then use a leg-hold snare, that kind of thing.  Be imaginative!

I don't know... we managed to empty a continent of small mammals without stainless aircraft cable and forged slip ring locking devices.

Most animals that live in near people these days are pretty sure of themselves, and are used to the smell of humans, man-made things and food. You can get away with pretty slack technique, and don't need to pay particular attention to their habits - essential with wild animals.

There are a half dozen trigger mechanisms that form the basis for most primitive traps. The actual trapping part can be anything that will get the job done. Hope you are planning to live-capture kitty?
