One of the lumber yards I frequent has a only one cat as a mouser. I
commented on how small and scrawny that caw was. The guy at the
counter said it was the best mouser they ever had in the yard. Their
last mouser was a big tomcat that could not catch a thing. I had
cats all my life and some were great hunters and others could not
catch a thing. Go figure. My Shar-Pei dog is a fine mouser.
