Ridecamp: Re: [RC] OT - RATS and Jack Russells

I have to tell this story about our cats. We have three at the barn. We 
also have a little begal cross named Sam. One day the field was cut next 
to our barn. The first time that summer. There must have been a nest of 
field rats there. The next morning we found a dead field rat by our 
barn. That afternoon Sam was sitting in the tack room raising hell. I 
went in and there was another field rat behind a chest where we keep the 
blankets. So I drag Sam out and throw a cat in. The cat sit there and 
looked at the critter, turned around and walked out, looking up at me in 
disgust on the way out. So I threw Sam back in. He got the rat out, 
chased it across the yard and disposed of it - as the three cats sit and 
looked on.

So much for cats. I guess we just feed them too much:-).
