I know some of you like rats but they are a bit of a problem around here with some of the road construction going on. About two weeks ago one of our cats escaped the cat enclosure (the enclosure is attached to a bedroom window and allows the cats to enter and exit into it as they like, unsupervised) and came back with a rat in her mouth....alive. trying to catch a rat isn't as easy as it seems. They're kind of darty when your chasing the with a fishing net. Ended up moving all the dressers into the hall, flipping the bed on it's side and still couldn't find it. At least the floors got a good cleaning. So I started moving everything back into the bedroom thinking we'll just shut the room for the night and put all the cats in there (not my bedroom anyway) and that should be that. As soon as I moved one of the dressers the thing dropped down and ran into the bathroom. Great! Closed the door and now it's trapped in a tiny room with nowhere to hide. So I crack the door and squeeze into the bathroom, fishing net in hand and...no rat. My plan was to get into the tub, protection from the beast and all, so I move the shower curtain and YIKES! there it is! It started hopping like mad and hopped right into the garbage can. Sweet! Closed up the bag and took it outside. That's it. That's my story.
Since then there have been two dead rats in our driveway (I know, the enclosure isn't really doing what it's supposed to but those damned cats find a way and until you see them doing it you don't know how they're doing it) and one....ON OUR DINING ROOM FLOOR! I know, they do it cuz they love us. Wish there was another way for em to show appreciation.
