Jules. Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladylucan Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
