[AT] "Squatters" in the Corncrib (OT)

[William Powell]

Cats stick around, they are very territorial... I have a barn cat. I do have
to feed her, but I know she is doing her job when she does not eat her
regular meal... I have seen her eat a few mice, starts at the head and works
her way through the whole thing... Ever since I got her I have not had a
mouse nest in any of my air cooled engines or in any of the tractors.....

good suggestion.  trouble is, cats don't really belong to anyone, they just
sort of room at various locales:-)  hard to keep 'em pinned down.
