cats are lethal on moles, voles, rats, mice and ground squirrels
it would be impossible to garden here without cats
If you don’t feed them too much. My cats are too lazy except for one that goes to the pasture. Solid black cat that turns to tints of brown in the summer. I don’t see how the little guy stands the heat. He is an outdoor man and mighty hunter.
Would be nice to have a cat or two, but my wife is allergic and outside cats don’t last long with the coyoties and Fisher Cats running around.
