Of Cats and Rats


It was recently remarked by a learned friend that when it came to catch rats, any cat would do! It took some time to analyse what he said. It was too true to believe! We indeed put people of any calibre to churn out magic in marketplace. And yes, some with meagre or not qualifications do excellent jobs at the helm.

This phenomenon is not restricted to our country alone, but then, on second thoughts, persons with skills in a trade perform or may perform or should perform well when heading a trade that ones educated in. This is where breeds of cats come into play when catching rats with different abilities that they specialise in.

Those cats that undergo skilled training to hunt down rats in different terrains and conditions shall be of greater demand and execute the job flawlessly indeed. Then, there are the moles and mouses to tackle that require the best breeds of cats and well trained ones. It may also be true that different animals may also be trained to embrace rat-killing prowess thereby increasing their chances of being selected for that specialised job! But then, these entrusted animals would once again render only one directional approach to work out a solution nevertheless draw ire from many for being inactive in any other field expertise that may be of relevance at that job.

Barely had my son completed the honours of closing the garage gates that I usually do and, settled down in the co-driver’s seat while I was at the wheels. It was parked momentarily by the road near my residence, before intending to take off to attend to an appointment wit...

Such personnel were the eyes of the organisation at the ground level. It was a mass recruitment of sorts where, the country was reshaping itself, a couple of decades after independence.
