I've had this experience with non target species before, specifically with skunks. I must have trapped two dozen skunks over the years, I had to elevate my traps due to that. I have yet to experience that with a cat, but it makes sense and I believe you.
Ha! Skunks are one step away from domesticating themselves, the fearless furry little bastards. Though I'd be fearless too if I carried around a chemical weapon everywhere I went.
