Cat-sized rats spread disease and are hard to catch (Photo)

In Kent, England, residents are worried about rats that are enormous in size.

In most cases, they are bigger than a cat, until it is almost impossible to catch them, Telegrafi reports.

Even the companies that deal with the cleaning and catching of animals are not helping the residents to catch these rodents.

"They asked us to close the doors and clean the yard, to keep them as far away from the house as possible. I am afraid that they will attack the children", said Melissa Gillingham, about this case.

"We set a trap and made a lot of efforts until we stopped him. It was a big rat whose bite could make us sick."

Favorable conditions, such as climate and easily available food, have caused these rodents to grow in large numbers.

Residents who have posted various pictures on social media are scared because they spread diseases, spoil food, destroy parts of property and can damage cables by biting them. /Telegraph/
