Chickensoup: thanks for the common sense. In my area, housecats roam the street night and day. Only the most neurotic people need to call the police, the humane society or buy traps. And with a wandering cat (feral or not), you will not see a mouse or rat.
An inaccurate and misleading statement.
At my property I do battle with field mice who are trying to setup house in my garage while at the same time the space under my three-season porch reeks of cat urine. The well-fed neighbor's cat doesn't bother with the mice, but it still needs to relieve itself somewhere
But why under my porch? :(
