@LiberalLibrarian I think since this seminal video got published https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sQ1EXk7XUpE , and the world was never the same
NYC was having a rodent issue. Do you remember Pizza-rat?
Dept of Health changed the regs so that (a) Pet health has to be maintained. (b) pet cannot be near food. (c) there has to be someone certified in the rules of health safety on the premises when the cat is there.
Cats have earned their keep - # of rodents are down in NYC
@nikolai3d Had to be after my family left in 1985. I wish it had been a thing before then.
