p.s I love tree rats and sea rats and even mice, if they live outside hahaha

They may get the icky stuff. What can you really do? They follow their nature, if we stopped them when we saw them they would do it when we did not see them. Besides, there is a whole lot more of the birds and squirrels than the cats can keep up with. Usual predator prey balance.
