Rahm Emanuel isn't the only rat in this city.

That's surprising. I've seen maybe two rats this entire year.

Rahm talking about it’s going to cost $1000000 for extra rat crews, I say let a few hundred alley cats loose and get the most bang for your buck!!!

They'd better be pretty big cats to take down some of those rats!

We have cats in our alley. They live on the north end and hang out in that area, as that's where their food and shelter is. Over the summer, I was seeing rats on the south end where the cats don't hang out.

About two weeks ago, I saw one of the cats down on that side. Now, I see a bunch of them gleefully prowling around there. I guess the word got out in the cat community.

I haven't seen a rat in awhile, and I suspect I'm not going to any time soon.

This is an obvious solution. But since cats don't support political campaigns like public employee unions do, this won't work as a policy in our City.

The rats are just the symptom of our much larger problem: unregulated fairy godmothers, street-legal guard locomotives, and princesses on the north side.

"North-side princesses"? Are you referring to "Trixies"?
