Answer

Why do unregulated feeding stations attract rats in Mallorca?

If food is left out regularly and not cleaned away, it can attract more than cats. Rats are drawn to easy food sources and sheltered spots, especially in busy coastal areas. That is why clean, registered feeding points are usually safer than scattered bowls left without oversight.
