Wizzo hunts for his next victim as he prowls through the labyrinth of crates, mobility bags and other equipment used to deploy at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. Wizzo, a rodent deterrent for the base supply warehouse, was adopted by supply group members in 2006 to help control the rodents in the warehouse, which cause damage to the bags and pose possible health risks.

YAY for Wizzo! What a great name (and a great mission) for a great cat! (Thanks for the story... made me smile!)

Keep the “civilian leadership” off their backs, and the military will find a way to get the job done.

Two questions - what’s his enlisted grade, and when’s he up for promotion?

Don’t forget his “up armored” miniature HUMMVEE.

I find it interesting that in todays high tech military, the best solution, was the simplest. Good going WIZZO, don’t forget to check six.

One year in service = about 3 years in cat life time.

Having grown up between dairy farms, I have long respected cats and their diligence in performing their duties. They are critical allies with us and our dogs.

Thank you to ALL of our soldiers

Heh—a solution as old (and probably far older) than the Egyptians, and still the best solution.
