I'll give you that, my cat also ate rat poison I didn't know about on top of the fridge ( do rats go there?)
But if it wasn't enticing rats wouldn't eat it either. I bet the box says don;t leave it in the open.
I'd rather have a problem solving pet than a dumb one.
And,obviously, If you have a cat you won't need rat poison.
I can put a bowl of milk and can of tuna on the ground and tell my cat "No" and he won't eat it until i say he can.
I used to be a dog person until I had a job where I met ~10% of the city's dogs at their houses.
