What affects us affects cats
The world hates rats. Unfair. Speciesism in action. Although, some people love them and this story may change the public profile of this much maligned ‘pest’ so mercilessly persecuted by humans. They are smart and eminently trainable with memories as good as the best sniffer dogs. Being a lot smaller they can rummage around …
