Our cat has caught two rats in the past two weeks along with two rabbits as well.
Your reply caused me to realize something. Our feral and domestic cat population seems to have disappeared. I see few to none roaming about day or night.
We do have jack rabbits but haven’t seen one in a long time.
Over the last few years most of the open areas where both feral cats and jack rabbits flourished have been developed for residential and commercial building. Very little open space left.
If I did not fear for its life as a play thing for our mixed breed Dachshunds, I’d sure adopt a cat! Too bad the Dachshunds are not nocturnal.
