ISD: fines fix rats?

You might want to try something a bit more poisonous. That said, this is some quality reporting. Thank goodness for the Herald, our last best printed hope.
Until then, Allston’s best defense: Klondike the cat, the neighborhood’s most lethal rat catcher. “He comes home with one or two rats on a daily basis, some days it’s three,” said Linda Osgood, 51, of her 4-year-old black cat.
Osgood’s neighbors on Bayard Street said they are very grateful for Klondike’s hunting prowess. But Osgood is not always so grateful. Klondike normally leaves his dead prey on their front yard. But last week he snuck in the house with a live rat in his mouth.
“My husband let him in at five in the morning. He didn’t realize Klondike had a rat in his mouth since it was dark,” Osgood said, noting that she came from work that day to discover her cat chasing the wounded rat around her living room. “I’m so afraid of them. I was in hysterics.”

The orange tabby with the Sponge Bob tag does pretty well too — I saw him chasing a rat almost twice his size last spring. I haven’t seen many rats this year. Hopefully that will continue.
