Posted by nasadowsk* on Mon Dec 28 06:29:32 2020, in response to Saving cats, posted by TransitChuckG on Mon Dec 28 04:04:57 2020.* A few of the sewer plants I work have cat populations of various sizes. Red Hook, one engineer warned me "He's kind of a dick. He'll act like he wants you to pet him and get all upset when you stop" Great Neck's population comes and goes, and some of them super adorable, but avoid people. They do the catch-fix-release thing. Being Long Island, some asshole figured that a sewer plant is a drop point for kittens, tossed two over the fence. One made it. When they were upgrading that plant, a super friendly calico would follow me around the RAS/WAS building, despite my repeated attempts to relocate her to her owner's place next door... Middletown, NY had an old, but nice, one. And over the years a lot of annoying dogs. Sewer plants are mouse/rat magnets.

My boss did not want the cats to be fed but I did anyway. The result was that we had no rats and very few pigeons.

Also, calling natural predation murder is a bit of a stretch.

I don't know what they ate, but they'd swim there and go at it. Sometimes the aerators wold do a normal speed change, and the flow around would increase and suck one in. The results weren't pretty. They learned to stay away after a while...
