If possible, close your bedroom door at night. Cats are notoriously difficult to sleep with as they rarely sleep a full eight hours and can cause you physical harm via biting and scratching if they're startled by your movements during sleep. It's best to keep your cat out of the bedroom at night, and establish altogether that your sleeping space is not a cat-friendly area. Leave the door closed during the day as well. Cats are territorial. The more access they have with a particular space, the more they think of it as their own, and the harder it is to keep them out when you're trying to rest. If your cat feels they have their own place to sleep, they're less likely to invade yours. Cats take refuge in comfortable spaces, surrounded by their toys, litter box, food, and bedding. Setting up a comfortable sleeping space for your cat can give him a place to go at night that won't interfere with your sleep. A high resting spot is ideal, as cats are natural observers and love to view a wide scope. A multi-level kitty condo, available for purchase online or at pet stores, can be a good option as it's comfortable for rest and also allows your cat to climb high. Cats need multiple places to sleep, so provide them with multiple options. While many pet stores sell expensive bedding, just a pillow or blanket is usually sufficient. Place cat-friendly bedding throughout the house, and places where you are okay with your cat taking a snooze. Place a small pillow on the arm of your sofa, or a warm blanket on the top of the stairs. This signals to your cat that these are places for him to sleep. Cats are most vulnerable when they are sleeping, so they prefer to rest in areas where they feel safe. Provide refuge in quiet spots of the house, especially places that are somewhat hidden like behind or under furniture. As stated, cats feel like a space is their own if their things are nearby. Set up resting spots close to your cat's food, water, litter, and toys so the cat knows this is a space for them. If your cat keeps trying to get in at night, there are a variety of ways to deter this behavior. Set up some kind of inconvenience for your cat, or something that will startle him, and he'll be less likely to come to your door to cry and scratch. Place something in front of the door, such as vinyl carpet runner placed upside down to expose the knobby bits, double sided sticky tape, or aluminum foil. The unpleasant texture will make your cat less likely to bother you at night. Set up a booby trap to startle your cat. Hang your blowdryer from the doorknob or place your vacuum 5 or 6 feet away from the door. Plug the dryer or vacuum into a remote switch, which can be purchased online or at a Radio Shack, and when your cat starts meowing or scratching turn the appliance on. The noise will startle your cat, and he'll be less likely to come back after that.

Summary: Leave your cat in a separate room. Create a resting space for your cat. Keep deterrents by your bedroom door.

You probably need to talk things out with someone, so rally your social network. Don't isolate yourself or give in to shame regarding the situation. Instead, reach out to a close friend, relative, or adviser. Explain the circumstances to the person and ask them for support and/or advice. Don't talk to someone you know will be a negative influence on either you, your daughter, or the situation. Choose someone you know you can trust to be empathetic. If you know another parent who has dealt with teen pregnancy, they may be a great sounding board. Getting social support from others can help you realize that you're not alone in dealing with this, but it will also help you deal with stressso that you don't take your emotions out on your daughter. Professional guidance can be particularly valuable during a time like this, so schedule an appointment for you and your daughter to see a counselor. Contact a counselor in the community or arrange to speak with your daughter's guidance counselor at school. You might see a counselor alone to help you work through your feelings and figure out how to best support your daughter. However, your daughter should also speak with a counselor who can help her work through her own feelings and figure out how she wants to move forward. These support groups can be terrific resources for understanding options and knowing what to expect during a teen pregnancy. They also serve as outlets to vent frustrations and fears and get needed encouragement. Look up support groups in your area that specifically cater to your circumstances. You might also ask your daughter's guidance counselor or doctor for recommendations. You might attend such groups together to offer your daughter moral support.

Summary: Confide in someone you trust. Speak to a counselor. Attend a support group or class for teen moms.

This is the wire that will capture and kill the rabbit in your snare, so it needs to be strong enough to hold the animal. While you can use any long and bendable wire, a thin metal wire works best. While easier to work with, rabbits can chew threw many thin ropes and cords, making metal the best option. Bend one end of the wire back on itself to create a simple loop, no bigger than an inch. You can wrap the wire around your finger to get the shape and size right. There should be roughly 23 inches (58cm) of extra wire at the bottom of the loop. This is your slip-knot loop. Wrap the excess wire from the loop around the wire at least 5-6 times to snugly secure them together. This is the most important part of the trap, and the loop needs to be strongly attached. When done, it will resemble a balloon on a string. The best way to test the strength of your loop is to put a pencil into the loop and then pull it apart. If the loop comes undone then you should retwist the wire to create a stronger loop. Use pliers to clamp the wires together for added stability if you need it. Feed the opposite end of your wire into the small loop you just made. Your whole wire will now resemble a large circle. Pull the end of the wire through the loop, shrinking your circle until it is the size of your fist, roughly 67 inches (1518cm) across. Your wire will look like a yo-yo on the end of a string. It should be elevated roughly a foot off the dirt and placed in a narrow corridor, such as a small footpath or a trampled trail in the forest. Your snare will hang from this to trap the rabbit. Felled trees, low hanging branches, or iron bars will all work. Make sure your bar is secured or heavy enough that a small rabbit couldn't pull it away. The loop should be hanging from the trap so that it is 78 inches (17.820.3cm) off of the ground. Your trap will resemble a noose hanging from a rafter or bar. As the rabbit jumps through the loop its weight will pull the loop tightly shut and kill the animal. Using large branches, block off the space underneath and to the sides of your snare, forcing them to jump through your loop. You want to block off all the space except the one in your snare.
Summary: Cut a 2.5ft piece of wire, rope, or cord. Create a small loop at the end of the wire. Twist the end of the wire at the bottom of the loop to hold it in place. Take the opposite end of the wire and push it through your slip-knot loop. Keep pulling the end through your slip-knot loop to make a noose. Place a branch, felled tree, or bar horizontally over the ground. Tie your snare to the bar. Create barriers to force rabbits towards your trap.
