RATIONS FOR RATTERS
A block of buildings sUch as Mangakino maintains at its Civic Centre is difficult to operate without some provision for combatting the rat menace. This civic duty is attended to by a small team of cats which finds the central buildings a happy hunting ground. An elderly resident has shown interest in these otherwise unpaid civil servants and for ten years has issued a regular supplementary ration of raw meat and milk. The feeding spot is well known to the team and sleek well-nourished members of the ratting squad are never far away when their kindly benefactor makes her way to the rendezvous.
