During a meeting to discuss City Hall’s rat problem, the city council president suggested that an “army of cats” could be brought in. Health officials say that's not actually a very good idea.

Or build a tiny wall

Simpsons did it.

Ferral cats that are hunters would probably work. Not all cats are hunters. Hungry cats will hunt.

supermarina In a Cat v Rat War, there are no winners, son. No, what you need are terminator robots, autonomous and armed to the beeps.

I’m dead. Who had this idea 🤣😭

They’re rats; Far more kind, clean and less dangerous than most humans. Clean up your human problem and the innocent rats will sort themselves

Doesn't Los Angeles employ city rat-catchers or pest controllers for sewers, subways or public parks? Could that be an alternative?

Studio lots do it and it works.

Politicians watch too much TV.

Who will clean up after the 🐈 potty? New job create? Sanction city does not have $$$$

Move the homeless in. The rats'll get tired of the smell and leave.

Ask Australians.

I’m thinking a piper.

Need to get rid of some those, suit wearing self serving, two legged ones.

Not an army, just a few would do

Only in Los Angeles buddy

We need to get rid of the BIag rats that are having doing positions .

Aren't there supposed to be smart people in City hall?

This season of the Simpsons looks dope.

Imagine how much kitty litter you’d need to requisition to support this effort!

Lol

A hundred Jack Russell Terriers would do the trick.

Pied Piper?

Rat terriers like they are using in NY

You’d think politicians would have more empathy for their own kind.

👀

how did this problem get so bad? jesus h christ

alwayssunny this could be a great opportunity for Charlie

What’s really scary is that the Health Dept let it get this far. Every building I’ve been in down there is FILTHY! While the Health Dept is harassing restaurants they need to clean their own offices!!

I have nightmares that start like this.

conradkaz Why not use chickens?

Sounds like the city council President been watching to many Tom and Jerry cartoons.

Don't need an Army, just a couple.

I mean, that's what the British did. 10 Downing has a Chief Mouser, as does the Treasury Department.

Perhaps Kamala can give some expert advice!

Stop electing them too office. fridayfeeling

“Rats” = lobbyists & developers. Cats are entirely ineffective against those as is rule of law though rat poison might work.

Did a cat suggest this?

BUT THAT IS FITTING OF THE INTELLECT OF THAT CITY HALL - BOTH SF & LA HAVE BECOME RAT HOLES

There's a book like that, something about a fly that gets out of hand.
