Best Answer

Rat catchers caught rats. They were hired when the rat populations were large enough to be destructive, to reduce their numbers.

The medieval story of the Pied Piper has a rat catcher as its main character.

Rat catchers usually killed the rats, but in some cases may have sold them live to be used in a blood sport called rat baiting. In some parts of the world, rat catchers still work today.
