We have a shop cat that must have appeared from a local farm, and the thing looks like a friggin mountain lion. It's perfectly happy in a fab shop, and even though I keep expecting it to turn into a pancake when our 40 ton forklift drives over it, he's never near any equipment when it's operating.
Weird little fella, and judging by the size of him and the lack of mice these days, he's doing a stellar job with rodent control.
What happens when the mouse problem becomes a cat problem? Release Dogs? And what happens when the dogs become a problem? Will they release bears? Sharks?

Ummmm nice theory but dogs don't kill cats. The Chinese do.
and we kill dogs and bears and sharks too. You can't stop us.

We release CO2 into the atmosphere and kill them all.
Its the Beacon Hill store, not sure who owns it, but if the return policy is any indication, they are no where near as cheap as the Westhills store. That place is the worst. If I ever need to go to CanadianTire, I avoid that store even though it is the closest.
Ahhh, well then. Yes indeed I am talking about the Westhills (Well, Richmond) location. That place all around sucks.

So release Chinese after the cats? Yay...
I remember seeing these cats at the Beacon Hill store and someone even almost ran one over in the parking lot. Ppl were confused when they saw cats out in the parking lot.
I wouldn't want them walking around the store in the daytime. Personally I wouldn't care but that seems to open some customers up to allergy issues and the cats up to increased danger (cars, general activity). Using them at night seems to be a great compromise. Both are nocturnal and the mice won't hang around too long if there are cats in the area.
The only issue I see is if a customer finds a mouse head. I would call that an acceptable problem.

No, you just release the Chinese after everything that follows. Cats, dogs, bears, sharks, etc. They'll catch and eat them all.*
*I am Chinese therefore I claim the privilege [as demonstrated in "The Yada Yada" the 153rd episode of the American NBC sitcom Seinfeld] of becoming Chinese just for the jokes.
Come to think of it. When the mouse problem was at its peak (at the CT that I worked at), there were a few cats that had found a way into the wearhouse and were helping with the problem. I don't think somebody secretly brought the cats in. These cats were hard to find, but you'd get glimpses of them, and they didn't look like any sort of tame cat. I think that was the breaking point that turned the mouse problem into a manageable one.
Also had a marmot in the garden center one summer. Took us a few days to catch it. The security guard took it and released it at the river bottom.
Another security guard was watching an employee who was stealing from the store. He couldn't wait to catch the person stealing because he would hide in the warehouse and the mice would come and hang out with him. He'd watch mice scurry up the warehouse racking, and some even could climb up a brick wall!
As long as they clean the store enough so that allergies won't become an issue, this sounds like a great way to deal with things. I know people in my family are allergic to cat hair so I'd hope that they clean properly after using the cats.
And this is now only happening when the store is closed so no customers will be harassed by any cats.
hmm... yeah that makes more sense. In that case as long as the cats are being treated well, I have no problem with this as it will be far more effective, long term, and environmentally friendly than any exterminator. Where do they go during store hours? and how do you manage to get them into that space?
