Hello
Today I heard loud sqeeking behind my house and when we checked it out one of my cats had a brown rat cornered and was beating it repeatedly in the head while the rat was trying to fight back (but failed miserably). After he killed the rat he actually started eating it! Rats are such dirty animals they live in the sewers and basements under buildings here. I get my cats de wormed de flaed and annual shots, but can I catch a sickness from them eating rats? I often pick up this same cat and let him sleep on my bed at night!
