    Iā€™ve never had a cat that actually ATE the mice they caught. They like to play with the mouse until the mouse died of a heart attack or of being mauled. And if PETA has a case against me, let them take the filthy creatures that chew open food containers to THEIr homes.

    As for rats: None has ever entered my apartment, thank heaven, but if one did, I would not allow my cat near it. I would just take my cat and leave the apartment and not know when to return. Could I call 911 if a rat entered my home?

    You could call 911. Wonā€™t do any good and probably get you in hot water.

    Best to immediately dial ā€œ9-1ā€ then wait with your finger on the ā€œ1ā€ to see what develops.

    Give the cat canned fish, not rat chow, and heā€™ll eat it. Cats are carnivores, and that canned stuff is full of cereal.

    I donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever get a rat here and my radiator was just mouse-proofed. I had to get catnip to give my cat exersize

    As it is, weā€™re part of the cats caste system and when they lay a dead ā€˜presentā€™ in our path, itā€™s only proof that theyā€™ve earned their worth to us. Our farm had ā€˜barn-catsā€™ and ā€˜house-catsā€™ and both teams pretty well earned their ā€˜keepā€™. But that black-snakeā€¦ā€¦he did his share of rat-control, too!!Very scary to a 9-year old !This cat here? Excellent squirrel killer, but I think a bit much, though my attic doesnā€™t make funny noises in the middle of the night anymore
