Question 1

Are farm cats good at controlling mice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, farm cats are natural and highly effective mouse and rat controllers. A good barn cat can significantly reduce rodent populations around grain stores, hay barns, feed rooms and livestock buildings. The mere presence of cats also deters rodents from settling in an area. For best results, keep two or more cats and ensure they are well-cared for with shelter, fresh water and supplemental feeding, as a healthy cat is a better hunter than a hungry, weakened one.

Question 2

What should I consider before getting a cat?

Accepted Answer

Before getting a cat, ensure you can provide a safe environment with shelter, food, fresh water and veterinary care including vaccinations and neutering. For outdoor farm cats, check that there are no major hazards such as busy roads or aggressive wildlife. Indoor cats need stimulation through play and climbing opportunities. Consider whether you want a kitten that needs more attention and training, or an adult cat with an established personality. Budget for ongoing costs including food, litter and annual health checks.
