Pat - There is at least one very common human ailment (it leads to
memory loss and, eventually, to blindness, if I remember
correctly....) that is spread by cat manure. It is not good to
encourage the possibility of cat's or their manure being in the
vicinity of crops being produced for food. I keep cats OUT of our
hoophouses.
Of course, there is a whole set of problems associated with rodents
and their manure, as well.
If it's rats: we've had success in flooding their holes and catching
them when they emerge. I've never had more than a couple move in for
the winter in a year.
