Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Jules.]

When I cleaned my eglu yesterday I moved the hosepipe wheel which stands on the patio & saw what I thought was a cute mouse that was hiding under it.

My dad came around to help us fix the roof tiles that had been damaged in the heavy winds a few months ago, & while he was having his well-earned cup of tea I told him about the "mouse" & said to him- look, there it is! It had crawled up the concrete upright next to a fence panel, & when my dad saw it he said it wasn't a mouse but a baby rat

All 3 cats were called into action, & Stuart flicked the rat off the fence, cats watched it till it decided to move & Hattie pounced! Afterwards Alexander said it was a bit like Tom & Jerry as Hattie had the rat in her mouth, gave a few gruesome crunches, swallowed & the rat's tail disappeared....

I'm glad I have cats

Oh my goodness!

But what stars your cats are! Extra treats tonight I think!

I hate wild rats and make me crawl,, yet i have two pet rats and they are one of the best pets ( besides chickens, cats, dogs, parrots) and one of the cleanest .

They dont smell and are so tame and friendly.
