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?

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

Wizzo meets the first person who comes through the door in the morning with his prey, Ms. Starr said. The cat drops it off at their feet as though he is offering them a gift or handing in an assignment.

Sounds like Tweek and Pippin!

So far, Wizzo has caught a bird, a rat and three mice, which officially makes him an ace. The supply team keeps his kill count posted on a board for him.

Meh, rookie. This year alone my cat has killed (I know because I've had to police up the carcasses) 12 chipmunks, one juvenile squirrel, and at least 4 birds. And those are the ones I know about.

One chipmunk, or what was left of him (head and rump) was found in my living room after my dad let her in one day and didn't notice the prize she had. I must say, she was clean about it. Other than the two mentioned body parts, no other blood or guts in the carpet.

But I figure if Wizzo is only a year old, and as he learns his command; he'll up his body count.

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.
