They unfortunately do not eat bedbugs fast enough to keep up with bedbug production. However, mine knew we had them far before we did. She spotted the smaller-than-dust sized babies well before I could see they were even there.

Thanks, Spiritof76! Is calico similar to tortoiseshell? This explains the difference between tortoiseshell and calico. Mostly just a matter of white fur on the latter. Fun fact: only females can be calicos/tortoiseshells, except for some very rare mutant (usually sterile) males.

Can we give the cat a sign that says there are service cuts this weekend?

"Thanks, Spiritof76! Is calico similar to tortoiseshell?" I think it's closer to argyle.

There are already quite a few cats in the New York City subway system. Rodents follow humans because humans are dirty and messy and spill food. Cats follow the rodents. A tradition going back to prehistoric times.

The above photo was taken at the Transit Museum in Brooklyn Heights on Schermerhorn Street. The subway shown is a vintage train sitting on exhibit on the track level of the former Court Street Station.

Uh, Jen, Tama is not a tabby. She's a calico. Huge difference. The AP writer obviously doesn't know much about cats.

Having cats in stations would be a great idea until you get splatter by one that didn't get away from the tracks in time while on a rat hunt.
