Give That Cat a Job!
Everyone mourns when we hear about dogs and cats that are "put down," whether it's due to longterm illness, old age or lack of shelter room. What if there were an alternative to this fate for more shelter animals? Some cities are putting their feral cat populations to work, helping themselves as well as the cats in the process.
In Commerce, California, for example, feral cats are being used by businesses that want to cut their rodent populations. Cats are great for this, and even though a couple of cats were too lazy to get the job done, another feral cat was perfect for the job, getting right to work taking down the pests of the company.
Have you ever put a feral cat "to work" in your business or home? How about a barn? How did it work out?
