Cats have such a strong predatory instinct that they will often go after any kind of prey they have access to. There are some issues with your cat eating rats. First, some of them are rather large and tough and can give a cat some nasty bites or scratches. Your cat can also get parasites from eating them. Although rare, if a cat eats a rat that has ingested rat poison, it is possible to transfer that poison to your cat. Ingesting rat poison can be very serious to a cat. It can be very difficult to prevent a cat from hunting, but if you have any way to prevent your cat from getting the rats I would do so. I would also recommend your cat receive worming medications regularly.

Hi,

If your cat eat lots of rats in day, may be that's can create health problem for your cat. In normal pet cats kill rats but not going to eat..

remember that they are cats and can eat things that would make us violently ill.
one of my rescues was eating discarded raw chicken breasts out of the dumpster for 2 days running.in the middle of summer no less.
it didn't seem to bother him at all.

my cat got out side a day ago and is no where to be seen! 24 hours have gone by and still nothing. i just moved from my house where my cat resides, at the moment i am unable to take her with me and she has a baby here that she gave birth too a year ago, do you know anyway to help find her or any way to know if she'll come back for her baby?

[nancyjw3]

ur very unclear about what the situation is.
u moved and can't take her w/u? but now she is missing?
if you moved to a new location and she got out of the new location or did she escape from the previous location?she had a baby a year ago,this cat is no longer a baby .i really don't understand ur question.how much of a distance between the place u moved from and the place u moved too?u need to clarify what you are looking for.

Yeah, it's just normal. The only problem is that most house rats are absolutely dirty. My cat is even worse, I saw her one time eating a cockroach. Eew. Haha.
