Gallery: Cats on death row find work instead

Jim Trenter was fed up with the mice that kept chomping into seed bags at his business' lawn and turf warehouse. That's when he heard about a new "working cat'' program from the Animal Humane Society. In spite of the fact that "cats" and "working" rarely appear in the same sentence, he recently adopted two felines. They now live and labor in the warehouse, which is suddenly mouse-free. "Best employees I have had!'' joked Trenter, a manager at Ramy Turf Products in St. Paul.
