Got a rat in the attic!! LOl

Just been up into the attic - thought I'd brought down all the Christmas decorations - but found I had the 'gash' box. (now going to throw it out)

I couldn't find the toch so was using the small one on my mobile.
I was swinging it around when something on the floor glinted.
Swung back to it - it was the eye of a rat - attached to the rat!! True it was just lying there - but my heart started racing and I realised I would be eye-level with it on my rapid descent.
Took a few deep breaths and wondered if I could scare it away.
Stamped my foot.
It didn't move.
Brain starts working - a live rat wouldn't be lying down and a dead one wouldn't have a glinting eye.

I edged closer and nudged it with my slippered foot. It moved - but only as far as my foot nudged it. I got closer.

It was a rat alright .


A toy one!!!!

Had fallen out of one of the many biodegradable black bags in my attic that are now rapidly falling to pieces!

ROFLMAO ................ oh i do hate it when i have moments like that lol

aw i wouldnt have got close enough to see if it was real lmao

i dnt mind rats had many as pets over the yrs, but when i saw the one under me rabbit hutch few weeks ago i felt sick lol xxx

Oh it's great fun in lofts, my ex ex went up in ours once, and then appeared at the loft cover looking pale and asking for a carrier bag and some rubber gloves as he had spotted a dead mouse.... I passed them up and heard him flapping about and making little whimpers as he dropped the mouse into bag.

When he handed it down I just laughed ( he was not amused at that) ....the 'mouse' was a plastic collie dog from a childs farm set , and smaller than the smallest mouse would ever be :)

lol.
What ever you do...dont eat it lol

Tsk Maggie

There's me about to offer to e-mail my three moggies across (lol). Mind, they'd probably faint at the sight of a rat, real or not!

Alice

Ooh Ooh ooer. Maggie that made my stomach lurch! lol

AND ASK STRAY
who she sent out to scare the rat and put poison down




poor magie
i would of died of shock if one was in the house
even a fake one

I get 'prezzies' of mice, voles and baby bunnies, all of which I don't mind chasing and (eventually) picking up and returning to outside, even though the ungratful little meece/shrews have bitten me before today.

A rat - OH would have to be called (lol). Even so, I couldn't kill it - I'd have to somehow get it outside............

(yes, I know, barking mad!!)

I've got 3 cats of my own - and ones a great ratter.
He brought me one on Christmas morning 2 years ago.
Unfortunately, I was still in bed and was woken up by his peculiar meow of offering - to find him stood by my face, rat (fortunately very dead) in mouth!!

I try not to let the cats up in the attic - they're more than capable of climbing the ladder - but I don't think they'd be able to get down.
Used to have a cat that loved going in the attic, he used to stand at the hatch and howl when he wanted to get down, which meant me going half way up the ladder, and him throwing himself at me - he wasn't small either - he weighed a stone ( not fat, just very muscly)
