I wish to extend appreciation to Bob, our Malden Humane Officer for his solving of my attic cat problem. I inadvertently left my stairwell down in my carport and then had nights of bouncing about in my attic. I later learned these cats are put to use in large barns in Kennett, where is an abundance of mice and vermin.
