Hello! Can anyone recommend a cat breed which is:
A: brilliant and ruthless at killing mice/rats
B: fine around children (3 and 4).
Am i asking too much? We have moved into a property near a river bank - huge garden, outhouse etc. We found remains of an old 'problem' and have caught a mouse in the attic yesterday.
I used to have a black moggy - lovely but she was rubbish at catching anything - used to play with mice and set them free in our old house.
I was advised to get a farm cat, but don't want my kiddywinks to be scratched. Any advice? I read tabby's, american shorthair and kittens over 6 month born to a feral/semi feral mother are good.
Thanks :-)
