I'll put a terrier up against a cat any day. As you describe: grab, bite, dead, move on to the next one. None of this "let's play with it for a bit" crap from cats, there's work to be done.

Mole problem? Borrow a dachshund for a week, no more moles. For efficient, methodical obliteration of a local pest population, hard to beat a canine for Terminator-like determination and efficiency. Cats just dick around too much.

I'll put my cats up against your terrier any day. Bite, whimper, dead. That would be your terrier.

My cats kill moles and mice. They do a damn good job of it. Only thing dogs seem capable of killing: rabbits and themselves.

Umm, I think you misread my statement, which was intended as "in a contest of who catches the most rats...". It was not intended as cat vs. dog in a cage match.

Though if that's the direction you want to go, the terriers I personally have are "American Pit Bull Terriers". Tell your cat to bring its A game.

And maybe 10 more cats to help.

Yeaaaaahhhh I grew up on a farm. I can tell you from experience once a dog (of more than the toy size) gets a taste of killing cats it's no contest. Cats are tough but if a dog wants to kill a cat, it's a dead cat. Full stop.
