A few questions...
I have three questions:

1. What does this sentence mean?: "They go to the mercer every night."

2. Does "ranting" mean the same as "complaining"?

3. Is this sentence correct?: "I saw a stray cat in our neighbourhood and I decided to take it in."

Thanks in advance :)

Answer

1. It's literal.  "Mercer" is not a contemporary profession - we only use this word when discussing history.

2. Yes.  Complaining emotionally and perhaps irrationally.

3. Yes.
