Forget Looney Tunes cartoon character Sylvester The Cat. There’s a real life local star named Sylvester located in Wichita Falls, Texas
According to the owner he he was strolling around at Smiths Gardentown shop when startled employees told him they had spotted a rat.
That’s when a tail swishing, Sylvester quickly leaped out from his owner’s hold and dashed after the rodent, jumping over the freshly potted rose plants.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
The cat perched on the pots, waiting patiently, before he pounced on the rat who was successfully snared in around 14 seconds.

We found a rat when uncovering our roses, so I deployed the tactical assault cat.
