I'd read that story, it seemed like the biggest battle they were having was that the building was a historical site. Because of that they couldn't just pull up floorboards, or open up walls, but had to work slowly and cautiously to not hurt the building. Seems wrong to me that a thing would be valued over a life.
BTW : Catnip's not actually a drug, as it doesn't have any narcotic effects. The smell induces cats to roll and play, but after they get enough they loose interest in it. The going theory is that the oil in catnip (Nepetalactone), which has insect repellant properties, induces this behavior in cats so that they flea-dip themselves essentially. Studies have shown that catnip oil is 10 times more effective than deet, and non-toxic.
