You will go through a whole bunch of coons before you get a cat in a trap. Call in and shot with a tranquilizer dart may be the best bet if you want to try and rehabilitate a bob.
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

Tomahawk (sp) makes it as an option on their large trap.
Not sure the brand but a friend had one in the early 90s that the first night we had it set with a rooster for bait, caught a large tom bobcat.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

My buddy called me today and asked if I wanted to trap a bobcat living under his house. I said sure, may I use your dog for bait... Seriously.

Here is a video I saw awhile back. It's a young woman the works for TPWD and she live traps bobcats for research.

I met a fur trapper in Wyoming who said he would occasionally catch a live bobcat in one of his traps. He claimed he would have to hold the bobcat down while opening the trap to release it. I told him he was a tougher man than me.

Bobcats are pretty easy to catch in a live trap, just use a large trap and live rats in a small live trap and some bobcat gland lure.

[quote=DirtNap How did you set up the trip for the door?[/quote] This trap has a raised piece of cage so when the animal steps on it it triggers the release latch on top If that makes any sense

Had it set for almost a month and only caught 2 coons. Haven't seen the cat since. Trapper said he would pay $150 for the cat hide.
