Re: PAT

Eek! I have come up against rats in the old days. The trouble is folk feed the birds on bird tables and rats climb up at night for supper. 🌺

Re: Ciel

IT does take a while but show a cat a bit of kindness and it will soon cotton on. The trouble is once they look well fed they seem to find another home even if it is not permanent. 🌺

Re: FS

Yes I remember a farmers wife grumbling at two small children who were splashing water out of a deep dish.' Don't do that' she shouted,'Grampy wants that to drown the rats.'

Some farmers and factories will use working cats, which are feral cats. They are used to control the rodent population. The farmer/factory gets the benefit of no rodents while the feral cat gets indoor shelter and a steady food supply.

The sad times are inevitable, I guess, but the wheel turns and we get used to changes. I'm sorry you've been going through them, anyway.

There never seems a lack of community cats. I still get the occasional visit from the Big Orange Cat who has been around for years.

Cats scare me.  I prefer dogs.

I, too, prefer cats to a slinking rat. I admire kitties because they are so dignified.
