Name: Yoyo

Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic shorthair
Home: New York, USA
 
   What makes Yoyo special? For one thing, he's a working cat. My husband works in an big old Victorian that's home to several small businesses. Yoyo was brought in this fall to help keep the mouse population in check. He lives in the house all week, patrolling for mice, and also helping out in other ways, like typing on everyone's keyboards, knocking detritus off desks, and taking pens and pencils for walks.

    Yoyo is also a sweet, friendly, talkative cat, who brightens the days of his human coworkers. Every landlord should consider this approach to pest control - Yoyo may not have actually caught many mice that we know of, but his presence alone is a good deterrent to the mice, and is environmentally friendly. And all the people who work in the house say he is always good for stress relief as well!
