Who is better at catching rats - cats or male cats?
Arguments over all sorts of issues are common in the world of pet owners.
So, among cat lovers there are often conversations about who would be better at handling such a responsible mission as exterminating rats – cats or male cats?
Let us hasten to reconcile the opposing sides by declaring that gender plays no role in this matter.
Instead, the animal's genes and upbringing are what matter.
Even though some breeds do have a slightly more pronounced hunting tendency, there is no guarantee that a particular cat will be able to handle rats.
If the result is what is important to you, that is, the absence of rodents in the house and on the garden plot, you should choose a small dog.
So, dachshunds, corgis and other dogs are excellent at hunting rats.
Don't be too quick to judge them by their cute appearance - these dogs have proven themselves to be excellent hunters.
