Pretty much any kind of cat will kill a rat. It mostly depends on the animal's individual personality, which is a result of both breeding and the environment it was raised in. My cats, for example, are terrified of rats, but that's because I trained them that if they got near my rats, they got a spritz of water. Which they hate.

However, my ex-girlfriend had barn cats that helped keep their horse barn free of vermin, and all of them would gladly chase down and kill a rat, and they were all semi-domesticated wild born cats, originating from an outside domestic.
