When I lived in Hawaii (Oahu, Kailua), the local lumberyard was just full of
cats, they were even sleeping on the counters.
I like cats too, but that seemed a bit much. So I asked someone "Why all the
cats?" He replied "The Rats were eating all the pine doors, costing us a
bunch!"
So I responded "What can these cats do against a full grown rat?" The quick
response was "Not much against the adults, but they are very good at eating
the babies. No babies, soon no adults!"
Get any cat with a killer instinct, like a farm cat.

We don't have mice, but rats invaded our roof last year and may be back this
year. Our cats have zero hunt in them. But I've wondered how well a good
mouser handles a full-grown ill-tempered rat. I'd love to have a capable
hunter to toss up in the attic and have her go to work.
