Probably more civilized than I am.
Ruined for any serious work.

Cats pick their humans and usually do a very good job of training us.
My Huskies are heat seeking missiles when it comes to rodent control, but I don't want them near my garden. They will destroy a garden faster than a plague of locust. I need the cats more for sentry duty then for combat duty.
Keep in mind I don't even know if it will work, but I never had a problem with critters in my garden when Lazarus was around. He started out as a feral cat. He then became an alpha dog, and supreme ruler of the homestead. I may never have another Lazarus, but would like to have another cat around the place. Without one it feels incomplete.
