“As a cat owner (or more aptly as one owned by cats) I agree with the article.”

If you really want to be owned by an animal, just adopt a Great Dane. Mine has his own couch and has turned me into a dog servant. After all, it’s taken several cats to come to own you; it’s taken only one Great Dane to do it to me.

Clean up all the garbage
Set rat traps and empty daily.

Filth attracts rats.

Lol. So true. Don’t send in a cat to do a dog’s job. And RTs are the best at that.

I walked an RT last Sunday. You should have seen him perk up when he saw a bunny hopping around in the walk area. Can’t get it out of ‘em. But maybe he was a bunny terrier. :) (And I actually thought of that video.)

most cats kill to eat and dont behaviorally seeking to just slaughter every rat near them (some dogs in the past were trained for that purpose)

maybe if these lazy city dwellers would clean up their environment ??

rats dont multiply so much if there isnt easy food for them
