Re: Chicago releases 1,000 FERAL CATS onto its streets to deal with surging rodent problem
Have heard from some, they taste like chicken

RAT on a stick has surely been sold...if not here than other geographical locations more fond of eccentricities in consumption...

I believe Haunta Virus came from those who invest live mice...


Bubonic Plague was supposedly from Fleas on Rats

And a diseasea in the SW in the States is originating from Fleas or rodents also...

Fleas being Bloodsuckers opens door toothed parasitic conditions


Toxoplasmosis passes in stool/

Albeit cats are fond of making a joke, relieving selves, then covering back up... Not all do...

Distemper shots likely given...but how do they assure they don't have an outbreak?

They are spayed or neutered

Some city Rats or wharf rats are bigger than cats

I have encountered about 3 feral cats-

Best to be prepared because "Cat Scratch Fever" is real and often Feral Cats carry it

Fleas like Ticks are Vector related and can be used to spread disease too

In NYC pound dogs are trained up to hunt rats...and seems their RaT population is exploding exponentially...

Interesting factoid...
If you pass with cats/ dogs

In home... Or ?
Cats will make the first move to snack on you over dogs....

Always exceptions to the known


But cats are more independent and will regulate their food sources if limited far better than dogs....
Just sayin'

Right frequency its and cat cleaning crew on the streets will do what they do

Re: Chicago releases 1,000 FERAL CATS onto its streets to deal with surging rodent problem
So, the plan is to have the cats kill a bunch of rats, and then to have 1000s of rotting rat carcasses around the city thus providing even more food to the rats, which will breed even more? That is the stupidest idea ever. Maybe next, they will bring in 100 pit bulls to kill the cats.

Shame they haven't heard about Rinne and his flip and slide traps. He devised a flip top to attach to the top of a 5 gallon bucket. You put food above the flip top and the mice or rats climb a ramp to the food, hit the flip top which uses their weight and gravity to drop them into the bucket. They could catch them alive and then use the meat in the prisons; wouldn't be any worse. Beware of Chinese imitations of the product.

In most commercial buildings, pest control professionals can eliminate rodents. Stadiums however, provide the perfect environment for rodents to not only survive, but to breed and become super colonies. """"" [link to www.facebook.com (secure)]

Chicago used to have a garbage collection system that was the envy of the world

Twice a week in all neighborhoods, sometimes three

And then the Daley days ended


Now the infrastructure is rotting everywhere but the Gold Coast

And even that is a shadow of its former glory

So don’t blame the dems, it has always been a dem city

We need to further atomize the demographics to see how things got this way

My cat hunts mice outside our house, she will go to the ends of the earth to catch them especially if one gets inside.. She can smell them. She quickly strikes when they appear out from beneath a rock, then she will decapitate them.

This will work almost as well as did Hawaii's sugarcane farmers introduction of the Mongoose to for their rat problem.
But since rats are mostly nocturnal and Mongooses are diurnal, Hawaii only doubled their rodent problems.

Since Chicongo's most dangerous rodents are also primarily nocturnal predators, they should instead release big cats, like Black Panthers and Leopards that will eat small rodents for snacks and Big Black Rats at mealtime.

It's a simple BCM, Black Cats Matter.

Trading a rat problem for a cat problem.

Why not just clean up the filth that attracts and sustains the rats, and put the cats down mercifully?

IF they kept the cat in the confined location with food for a week before opening a door. Then continue to put food and water in that same location for the lifetime of the cat. This would actually be a good plan.

Feeding my feral cats is much better than buying lots of rat poison.

Re: Chicago releases 1,000 FERAL CATS onto its streets to deal with surging rodent problem
Every city and town that's done the virtue-signalling catch/spay/neuter/release program has ended up with a rat and mice problem.

I tried to inform the people in my city (a harbour town) about this consequence before they instituted the program several years ago, but it fell on deaf ears. Now we have rats and mice everywhere, including taking up residence in houses and apartment/condo buildings, hospital and university buildings, and hotel and office buildings.

Spayed and neutered cats have zero interest in chasing rats and mice. Spaying and neutering reduces their hormone level to nearly zero (to the level of a kitten), taking with it the kill instinct. They play with their prey rather than kill it. Losing their kill instincts and relying on hand-outs for food (like kittens do) also makes them vulnerable to predators.

A thousand feral cats (if they're genuinely feral, not spayed and neutered) won't put much of a dent in Chicago's rat problem.

Nearly every time humans intervene with their virtue-signalling, short-sighted "solutions", they make things worse on all counts, but I can guarantee you that someone somewhere made money from it.

Very few government policies are based on wisdom. Nearly all are profit-driven for the benefit of government insiders and their lobbyists.

I know there's a general hate-on for Chicago on this forum, but I traveled through there several times by train on my way to somewhere else, and I was always treated well. Once I got lost trying to navigate the local train lines, and a woman very kindly took hold of my heavy luggage, guided me to the street, and hailed me a taxi. I tried to pay her for her service, but she refused to take the money. The taxi driver was an immigrant from Africa. He was listening to a Christian sermon on the car radio. These were the kind of people I encountered in Chicago. I think there is still some good in that town. I think there are still some Godly people everywhere, just not many. We need to be grateful for the few there are.

I wish the released cats the best of luck!
