Get a gray female cat.
That seems kind of specific. Do you have a particular cat in mind? :-)

Nah. ;-) Some adult rescue from the shelter will do.

It's just been my past experience that gray or gray/calico females have
been death on moles, mice and gophers in the past!

Seems to be genetic with the color.

I've had a gray female cat for 16 years. She doesn't give a damn about
moles. I also have a 3 year-old hyper-effing-active rat terrier. She's
of the same opinion as the cat. Squirrels don't stand a chance, but
apparently this is a mole sanctuary.


Too funny. :-) We once had a gray calico type tabby (she was mostly gray
with some tan and white) named "patience" that was the best
mouser/moler/gopher/rabbit cat we ever had!


Well, the old girl (Roxy) has been on thyroid meds for about 4 months
now. Her appetite comes and goes, and she's lost a lot of weight. She's
always been an indoor cat.. to many cars/dogs/mean people out there...
anyway, when she goes, I'll get two little fireball kittens to replace
her. Wish I could train 'em to catch moles...Actually, I should put that
damned rat terrier to work....
