Take your cats in

There's been a population explosion of rats around Davis Square, and if your landlord is anything like mine, they'll ignore your pleas to hire a professional exterminator and just start throwing poison around. You don't want your cat eating a poisoned rat.

It's a regional thing. Where I grew up, nearly everyone let their cats out. Here, nearly everyone keeps them in.
