Why was my cat stuck in a glue trap?
The traps were stuck painfully on his legs and underneath his body.

What should I do if my cat gets stuck in a glue trap?
If you find your cat stuck in a glue trap or tangled up in fly paper, the first thing you’ll want to do is remain calm, and help your cat remain that way too. If your cat is yowling or trying to tear himself away from the glue trap, PETA suggests draping a towel loosely over his head, which may work to calm him down.
