Nah I'm not putting down Kafka, nature is cruel sometimes. I'm more kind these days, I have 2 possums that love tearing up my garbage bags so I built a holder out of fencing but they learned they can climb it. Next I'm going to make a top for it, kinda a game between us now. Years ago I would have just ended it with a 22LR to the head.

Haven't had a field mouse problem since getting our 2 cats.
any cat can bully field mices.
but only real cat can bully gutter rats.

We got some huge ones here Vinny, like I said in rural areas they prefer the farms with feed and silage to feast on.

I don't really know which country has the biggest rats. Most farmers have dogs that love killing them, little terrier type dogs make good ratters.

One time I walked out into my yard and saw a bird fly away like I scared it and slam into my garage
and then out from the bushes comes my cat covered in feathers, feathers all over the yard and the bird was trying to regain its strength to fly away while the cat said good morning to me and then went and pounced on the fucker. My dad was also there and got the cat to leave it alone long enough to fly away so we don't have a dead bird in our yard
it looked pretty fucked up though and probably went and laid down and died in the forest somewhere
I had 4 female cats and the only time I ever saw rodents or anything was when they were being tortured.
Cats are fucking deadly killing machines and will spend hours stalking the same bird if it hangs around the neighborhood too long, which they did because every fucking old person has a bird feeder

I've seen rats bigger than those, NYC suppose to have some big rats.
Now that I remember I read awhile back about a city in north England, they tore down some building and all the rats invaded some neighborhood. These rats about the size of a cat, scared one family out of their house.
Locals started shooting them with air rifles.

One friend that owns a dairy farm had a Jack Russel that would wait hours to catch a rat. Fucker loved killing rats.

nobody seems to be keeping record of rat sizes by geography,
