Hi gfs
The problem with rats can be as much to do with a problem with other humans as with a problem with the actual rats as such. I have heard of people being told (by a Council and also Landlords) not to feed the hedgehogs/birds because it had been reported that the food was attracting rats. So needless to say people are worried about rats because they don’t want to be told they can’t feed the hogs. Although I take your point with regard to your other comments. But, sounds as if you’re lucky – the cats here seem to pretty much ignore the rats!
