Mechanical Trap Room

The Mechanical Trap Room (also referred to as "prison cell" or "the cell") Is an upgrade which can be installed and uninstalled from a feeder. Its purpose is to capture and contain cats for veterinary purposes. It is speculated that it was initially intended to capture Little Scraggly Guy (LSG), as it appeared shortly after his first sighting. As of February 17th, LSG has not yet appeared and/or had the gate closed on him.

On the afternoon of February 20th, 2024 local feeder time, the cell was once again installed by a human, presumably to catch Mr. Fresh; either for his adoption or for veterinary care as his eye was injured or infected at the time.

Later that day, after Mr. Fresh has been caught to treat his eye infection, it was once again dismantled and cleaned. Tuna was supplied and the feeder was resupplied during this process, suggesting that installation and removal are regular tasks for Hello Street Cat employees.

Function

The jail-like bars of the room's gate closes mechanically (assumed to be by control of the owner) typically creating a loud sound, catching and startling whichever cat is currently feeding.

Removal

On the morning of 18th February at 6:25 AM, a man came and tore down the Mechanical Trap Room. The reason as of now is unclear. In replacement, a canvas was unfolded.

During the exchange it left a bowl full of tuna, a cat bed and a knife that is hidden underneath it.

Appearance

The cell has the same front and back walls as the original room, just with the addition of detachable gray metal walls and the removal of the blanket.
