Cats are good, but owls are better. Cornell University calculated that just 48 barn owls would eat about 1.3 tons of gophers per year, which also translates to mice and rats.

On initial reading, that sounds like a lot. But it actually calculates out to about a pound per bird per week, which makes it much more reasonable.

I've seen a cat Army raised here at FR for rodents as well. Just check into any Zot thread.

There will shortly be several cat ranchers to supplement the local diet.

As a kid we shot and sold cottontail rabbits to people, but after skinning them, had to leave one front foot on. Some customers were afraid we might peddle them a cat.

Sounds like a much better idea than using poison. I’d rather rely on God’s solutions than Monsanto’s.

I see you eat at my Chinese Take Out.

Yeah, yeah. I know this is offensive. I have 4 inside cats and 3 barn cats. All strays. Lighten up. This is funny.
