    Eh even on farms they’re not the most effective

    Sure cats sometimes catch mice, but you know what else also catches mice and is actually native to wherever your area is? Owls.. Owls that are being chased off by said cat.

    Let your local raptors do their job people.

      I think it depends on where you live. Where I live there’s not as many owls because everything is just grassland/prairie, so lots of farms still have farm cats for pest control, but I do think it’s ideal to go without if you can.
