We must have had a least twenty cats counting from my childhood to 2005. Tabby’s are typically the striped gray or orange striped kitties. Others qualify as well. By far, the females were the best hunters.
Our tabby’s scared me when I watched them hunt prey. They were all snuggly and friendly, purring while I held them, then turned into wild beasts after a bird or a rat. I had a hard time reconciling their actions.
Ireland had a typhus problem in the 1800s. Unsanitary conditions, and rodents who loved it. But cats could aid in managing pests who spread the disease. You can research it more on the net here.
