Title needs fixed.

It shoud read "Cat Gets Military Supply Unit to Supply Him With Something to Chase."

I used to inspect food and beverage plants for sanitation and other things. We expected and required traps (e.g., Tin Cats) inside - these are traps with an entry but no exit. We also required poison bait stations outside.

The Military should put bait stations outside such buildings. Keep the critters outside, don’t lure them inside for the reason stated in the article.

Unfortunately,a lot of materiel used by the military attracts rodents, to say nothing of stored food...I don't think it's a matter of intentionally luring them inside. Rodents have always been a problem for our military (google Korean Hemorrhagic Fever), and provided the cat is monitored for health problems of its own, it seems a great low tech solution.

The best places to recruit cat and kittens are your friendly no-kill animal rescue shelters. =^..^=

You are the good Samaritan of the lolcat world. Protecting others from danger by shouting observations and guidance in cases of imminent threat, you believe in the well-being of everyone.
