[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cat kills at least 1 rat every night. I know because he leaves the bodies in a specific spot in my yard. I always give him a pat on the head and tell him he's a good boy. [/quote] Aren’t you worried about your cat getting rabies? Also I think most of these outdoor activities or feral cats are scared of the rats. [/quote] Cats get rabies vaccines. You wouldn't use indoor/outdoor pet cats for this probably, although even their presence and smell of their pee would deter the rats. There are feral cats that are captured, neutered, vaxxed and released to work on rodent problems in some rural settings. There are rat terrier dogs also used for this, but they have to be scheduled and accompanied by exterminators. We may need to do similar in the parts of the cities with out of control problems in addition to poisons and traps and cementing rat holes and cleaning garbage. [/quote]
