Some of the rats in NYC are quite big, I'm not sure cats would go for them.
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoOh our old barn cat would come out of the barn door carrying a dead rat so large she couldn't hold it off the ground.
- barsonme 9y agoYeah, my cat's literally dug up moles before. I know NYC has mutant rats, but I'm sure it's not difficult to find a cat adventurous enough.
- walshemj 9y agoI have seen a junivile cat do the same she was hardly out of kittenhood and took a rat bigger than her.
- jessaustin 9y agoYeah, at the right age, a juvenile cat is a pound and a half of death, and it isn't shy about showing you. I think later on in their lives cats are a bit more secretive, especially about prey they want to eat.
- eric_h 9y agoIf you don't feed a cat much, it'll go after just about anything rodent-like that it thinks it can sink its teeth into. [Edit: also bird-like, which is why a number of eco-friendly people aren't too fond of free range domestic cats in many different parts of the world]
- saalweachter 9y agoOur old barncat just hunted the ratlings. Tenderer meat, you know.
