Get to work, cats!

I guess in these tough economic times, everybody’s got to earn their keep. Even cats.

A Virginia program called “Barn Cat Buddies” pairs homeless cats with people who need mousers. For example, barn owners need help keeping rodents out of their stables. Solution: cats! The program director said it’s basically a “will mouse for food” situation. The people who adopt the cats only pay for spay/neuter and vaccination costs – a small price tag to have a pest-free barn.
