I was sitting in the living room relaxing while watching a show on the tube. I heard this unusual noise from the kitchen that got my attention. While picking up the remote to engage the mute on the TV I heard another similar noise coming from the kitchen. I got up and walked in the kitchen, upon turning on the light a half eaten bag of doritos came out of the trash can and onto the floor. This HUGE fricking rat subsequently followed. Seeing me the rat proceeded to seek shelter in the corner behind the trash can. What to do? What to do? I decided to smash the trash can against the wall in hopes of killing the rat behind it. Please note that the trash can is made of wood. Well the rat screeched in horror and it was only pinned in between the baseboard on the wall and the trim of the trashcan. I hollered for my girlfriend and she came running. I asked her to hold the trashcan while I got something. I was looking for something to kill the rat, what to get. "A Broom!" Getting the broom I proceeded to attempt to beat the rat to death. The rat did not go quietly into that good night. I was not successful due to the rat managing to free himself from this unfortunate position and ran past me down the hall and into the laundry room where it escaped into the wall via the washing machine hook up coming out of the wall.
Next step seal the holes.
I sealed the holes and thought all was well... NOT!
Next step.. traps...
I soon found out that rats are devious and SMART!
Next step.. A Cat!
THIS KIND OF CAT!
So I went on the search of a cat... what I got was this cat.
Even though I could not find the cat I wanted this little jewel would do the job I was hoping.
A few weeks later I saw the cat staring at the stove oh so intently. I went on the search for what the cat was hoping to see and the cat runs off. I then see what the cat was after and the rat runs to the dishwasher and is gone.. again.. where is the cat... ON THE COUCH!
Oh boy this is aggravating. They may as well be friends.
Last night the cat was staring at the stove again. I pulled the stove out AGAIN. Cat runs off AGAIN. I see something that looks like a copper tube sticking out of the back of the stove. This "tube" appears to be about six inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter. I am thinking,, this stove would not have a tube on the back of it when the tube disappears into the stove. I quickly open the drawer at the bottom of the stove and the rat jumps out of the drawer and runs into the dining room and on into the living room. GUESS WHAT? that little cute cuddly cat is in the living room. Before my eyes that cute cuddly cat with his tongue stuck out transforms into the bane of rat kind and jumps on the rat intent to make a dent. The rat is fighting, screeching,, the cat is running and jumping as the rat gets away, gets caught, gets away. I mean the rat is half the size of the cat and the cat is acting like she is five times the size of the rat.
The rat does manage to elude the cat but I think the rat knows that he is really not wanted in my residence.
