I had huge issues when I purchased my farm. Noticed a ton of cats the first year I bowhunted it. None of them were house cats. I watched them kill about everything they could get there paws on. Birds, baby turkeys, babby rabbits, anything. At first I was irritated when they kept getting caught in my 220 sets, until I noticed no more cats coming around!!!
Canned tuna works well. Cheapest you can find at the dollar store. Canned cat food is good too. I've never had much luck in the live traps with them. I have gotten them in blind sets, flat sets for coon, flat sets for canine. I don't recall ever getting one in a dog proof style coon trap but.. that might be your best bet. Eliminates the chance of catching non target animals.
No one has to know what you are doing although, if memory serves me, they are treated just like lose dogs by the animal control people. So, that said, if they are pets, people should keep them on a leash or in their yard.
I'm not a cat person! They don't bother me if someone else has them at their house, but when they come to mine, that bothers me.
The above is what I would say in a public style setting (much like this forum). Ask me the same question privatly and I might give a different response!!!
