What does the color of the cat have to do with anything?

Great!
Don't let those cats eat the poisoned mice as it will have the same effect on them.

The things I do for rats because since it's winter and the neighbor has now taken off his gmo corn guess where the rats are. I do three things the old Tom cat likes to catch anything that moves. I try to keep black rat snake and will accept any that I can get my mistake was one night as I was milking my goats my dog was looking up into the loft in a very particular way upon investigation I discovered two 8.5 foot black snacks doing the hanky panky. I took one and through it into the woods across the road and ever cinch then have had a rat problem. Hopefully some will eventually stay. 3rdly I mix a concoction of flour, cocoa, corn meal, sugar, concrete mix and a little baking soda make it into a post with a nail through it and dry it on the stove. It most work because I've seem dead rats around. The sad but funny story is and ii don't suggest it is the rats got so bad once that after milking the cow and leaving the barn the rats would climb int the feed box and lick it clean and then bite her ears and such the blood. Couldn't have that so one day I milked her. Then took her out to the pasture and after locking up all the stock and cats for a month and filled her feed trough with rat poison( which i hate to have on the farm). The next days you could just hear the rats scratching and kicking the medal scrap where they where hiding. Didn't loose any stock but did get rid of the rats. Only use poison under extreme situations where the rats have time to rot and decompose.

GREAT idea. They will also control my poultry population as well as take off some small pets.

I trapped and dispatched rats with the Ratinator and left them on top of the fence. Not sure if hawks and owls took the offerings, but something did

At night black cats squint their eyes closed and become invisible
