feline forces are out to get them. and to r.j. and her colleagues from the organization animals on the street go around picking up feral cats. and then they relocate them in places where the rat plague is at its most severe. with cats being created. so the smell of the cats keeps the rats away from the surface so it's a good thing for them to do you give them a home and in exchange they keep the rats a way from your house. to lisbon authorities are keen to build up a capital that rounding up the city's feral cat colonies is anything but easy. not to for this attempt fails. and her team make another attempt ideally they'd like to catch the entire colony kept straight friends so it's usually much easier to relocate a colony if you put friends together. usually sleep together play
