Or more precisely, call the mousers. That’s the demand of French National Assembly member Aurore Bergé, who wants cats installed at the National Assembly and at the Elysée Palace to chase a growing mouse problem.
Bergé, a member of Pres. Macron’s party, told Paris Match that “we need a cat at the Palais. A few of us are pushing for this to happen because there are far too many mice there and at the National Assembly.”
It’s not a far-out cry in a city where rodents, including rats are believed to far outnumber people. There are already cats at work in several government ministries and in the apartments set aside as official residences.
