farm cats
Rural rodent patrol
Farm cats are cats that live on farms, typically semi-feral and kept primarily to control rodents rather than as pets.
They may receive minimal care—food scraps, barn shelter—but largely fend for themselves.
The term distinguishes working cats from pampered house cats: The farm cats keep the mice out of the grain bins.
