       | discovered you could breed them at home on potato greens - which
       | were easily found at any farm. Soon thousands were handed in for
       | the bounty. This cat soon escaped the bag and the bounty
       | decreased and ended and the DDT was applied... (apologies - I
       | love cats and never bag them)
