Monrovia Rat Homicide

"Breakfast of the Champions!" declares William the Cat.

Today, shortly after William left for his morning ablutions, the Franklins discovered these dismembered rat remains on the lawn. No head was found making general identification of the rat impossible.

William, "There's nothing better in the morning, than a nice yummy Roof Rat" says William. "Today I liked the head best but other times not so much."

Due to the Roof Rat breeding season, the Franklins have been finding more and more rat homicides left on the lawn but thankfully not at the doormat or in the house.

"I don't like to share" says William.

Because of his hunter prowess, William is now in great demand in the neighborhood with neighbors plying him with wet cat food to encourage him for personal yard Roof Rat patrol.

Many Roof Rats in this Monrovia neighborhood have met their demise with William. It is hard to guess the total number as the Franklins do not believe William is bringing all his catches home. However, last December, William averaged one Roof Rat or part of a Roof Rat left on their lawn per day.

Says William "It also tastes better when you catch them yourself."
