As you know, I'm of the same mindset of not killing things unless I will eat it. Having said that, I'm down to a weekly battle with new pack rats and it's getting annoying. I'm not there yet, but I might be less charitable with sparing their lives.
So having the cats around does not deter the pack rats? Hmmmm..... And here I was thinking of getting an outdoor barn cat for that exact purpose....
Thankfully so far there have only been two packrats, if it becomes a more regular thing I might have to try skinning one. I haven't seen the cats get one, but I bring them inside at night so maybe they don't get a chance?
My neighbour's cats get ground squirrels, so I don't see why a motivated barn cat wouldn't hunt packrats. You won't know til you try!
