>>1951151>cats for pest controlThis was always a meme. Cats were never used for this because they’re not good at it. A cat will kill a single mouse or rat; it won’t kill several.
Dogs are and have always been used as pest control on farms, especially prior to industrial farming. The most common breed of dog in the US used to be the rat terrier for that reason.
