I need to capture a half-feral cat with a serious medical problem. I have a large wire cage that's not designed to be used as a trap. If I tie string/rope to the open door, pass it through the wire cage and run it along the ground, it would be possible to wait and pull the string once the cat enters. This won't work unless the door closes and at the same time a knot ties it shut. The knot needn't hold long, 10 seconds against a large strong cat should do the job. Question is, what knot should I use?

Good news: 2 cage-traps are now in place, and hopefully a 3rd will be tomorrow. Thanks for all the ideas, this time it didn't end up diyed, which is unusual. Was able to find a farm supplier in the area.
Do please tell us what you catch.
