farm cat
Rural rodent patrol
A farm cat is a cat that lives on a farm, typically kept to control mice and other rodents around barns and grain storage.
Unlike house cats, farm cats are often semi-feral—tolerated and fed but not treated as indoor pets.
They may receive minimal veterinary care and live more independently: The farm cats keep the mouse population down.
