Offices employing a cat.

Post by Caniel »

I was reading that "Master of the Posts" book and apparently it's possible to employ a cat to control rodents in an office :crazy: . The office can even claim expenses to cover the cost of feeding the cat, although this has to be reduced over time to encourage the cat to eat the rats and mice.

Would be fun to have a moggy in the office on rodent patrol but the DIM would take it off it's cushy mousing duty and send it out with lapsing.

Sounding precisely like the whole RM management structure so long as you supplant the word 'increased' when referring to the costing... :cuppa
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.

Cats are quite clever and one would jack RM in a week.

Either that or they would give it some rodent absorbtion in another office :chuckle

Isn't there a pillar for a cat in World Class Mail?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

If dead mice and rats were left strewn on the office floor, would they be done for wilfully delaying not eating them. :Very Happy :Very Happy
