New York claims a small victory in 'forever war on...
Hmm... Cats are more mousers and they're not actually that good at catching rats, which are much larger. Typically this was the job of small dogs.
(Not to say it can't be done. My own housecat killed a rat)

Anectodal but my cat brought home at least a dozen full grown rats in her lifetime. Sometimes afterwards she got sick, but only for 1-2 days. I don‘t know how many rats she just devoured before i could throw them in the thrash.
