How will these feral cats be able to tell the rodents from Democrats?

[EvilCapitalist]

And what will Chicago release when the feral cats get to be a problem?

[max americana]

Feral cats wont do the trick. In order to annihilate these “Rats”, the city needs to be nuked..just to make sure.

[simpson96]

lol!

[Slyfox]

Ah! Flea City!

[Spirit of Liberty]

PETA’s gonna love this...

Are they sure feral cats will hunt, kill and eat large, aggressive urban rats? Also, you can be sure many people will feed those feral cats on the sly.

[NautiNurse]

Cats don’t normally eat large rats. Little rats and mice yes, large rats—not so much.

[Kudsman]

They should consider city funded Jack Russell teams. Those little buggers are efficient rodent hunters.

[Rebelbase]

When they get fed and tamed by 1000 cat ladies the good intention becomes moot.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

The main rat problem is democRATS.

Rats > fleas > cats > fleas > humans > plague?

[waredbird]

Who herds up a thousand feral cats and drives them to Chicago? Rowdy Yates? They wouldn’t be feral if there is a feral cat breader would they?

[wildcard_redneck]

Feral Chihuahuas would be a better solution. Plus they would chase people in packs.

Wait. it is cold Chicago, they should try ferrets.

[TChad]

This will not work. Feral cats kill few rats:

Crazy Cat Lady Syndrome
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_lady#Toxoplasma_gondii

Toxoplasma gondii

Some studies indicate a link between the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which sexually reproduces exclusively in cats, and numerous psychiatric conditions, including obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia,[13][14] whereas other studies have showed that T. gondii is not a causative factor in later psychoses.[15][16]

The compulsive hoarding of cats, a symptom of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), has long been associated with “crazy cat ladies”.[17] Mass media has drawn on this stereotype to coin the term crazy cat lady syndrome to refer to the association between T. gondii and psychiatric conditions.[13]

I’m not sure a feral cat will tangle with a full grown Norwegian rat. They probably ought to bring in packs of coyotes. And maybe some hawks.

[Chode]

did they all swarm to the mayor’s house???

[logi_cal869]

Well, now we know the name of the next pandemic:

Lymphoreticulosis. /s

[the_daug]

This is how to get rid of rats.

[jocon307]

Cats can’t really take on rats, that’s my understanding.
