Cities are seeing a rise in rat complaints according

“It was glorious,” said Thomas, who said the cats have made her yard usable again. “They stopped coming over. The (burrow) holes stopped opening up. I love the feral cats.”
While the cats have been effective, Thomas said that their work comes with a less than appealing byproduct: the occasional severed rat head or rodent heart that needs to be scooped out of the lawn.
