I live next to Tooting Common a large section is what you might call rewilded; a light touch to management (cheap, too). There are many mice, some rats, squirrels, foxes etc etc. 

The mouse problem was increased when there was a major redevelopment of two hospital sites and the residents were displaced. 

So we got a mouser. She wiped them out from our house in fairly quick time (vicious stuff) and we haven’t had one for 5 or 6 years. Bottom line, Neve the cat is a wild animal that chooses to stick around. A pet in name, but a working animal by nature. And as for the claim on bird kills (cats bad, windmills good) only the old or sick are slow enough to get caught.

I’m sick of this everything is Carbon and awful stuff you hear. What is their agenda? A world exclusively inhabited by plants, herbivores and the occasional elite human?
