The Dirty Rat Thread.....

awwww that's not a rat that's waaaaaaaay too cute.

I bought a product called Ratsack and reported to Miss Shy in IM whom requested I didn't put it out to poison the rat but wait a few days and see if it would go away.

So I didn't put the poison down :eek:

Thankfully until now it has been MIA though I am still looking around corners for it when the glass wall is open here. Perhaps its stuck in a maze somewhere like the rest of us ........ ;)

BTW Thank you Miss Brioche as well I appreciated your post but was a little embarrassed not having put the poison out so I didn't comment initially :rose:

 
There is no need for rats in the world. They carry disease. They're ugly, dirty and they haunt my sleep. This is not some cute little bunny. It's a damned dirty Rat!!!

You should've put out the poison and killed the bastard.

I refer you back to this: Roxanna Danna: the world will not be less for the loss of one rat

Now rebecca, you can worry about where he is and when he plans to return.

Big ol' sigh...

Miss Shy made me feel bad and then I thought some really bad karma was coming my way and what if that rat is reincarnated of some kindly Dom whom made a little whoopsy error mistake type thing in a past life............

goes to get out the Ratsack :D

Karma-shmarma... Rats have no good purpose. It would be good karma to rid yourself and your neighbors of them. God would smile at you.

They are bad bad creatures. ;-)
 
Rose - love the allusion to vintage SNL. :)


Rebecca - to borrow a popular quote..... The pity of Shy may rule the fate of many. [Or at least a few.]

A poisoned animal will crawl off and die in an indeterminate location, where it will either be eaten by another animal (who will also become ill) or start to decay. I'm not a fan of poison.

However, I agree with Rose. Rats do not belong at your home, and something to consider is that the sight of a nocturnal rat in daytime often means that its home has been disturbed..... i.e., it is looking for a new one.

My suggestion, if you see the rat again (or evidence in the form of droppings, etc.) would be to lock up your cat temporarily and put out an old-fashioned rat trap. The spring-loaded kind. Use peanut butter, not cheese. If you buy a big enough trap, the animal will die instantly (making this alternative more humane than poison as well).

Maybe their purpose is to make other rodents look good by comparison.

I was only giving pity to a small creature who was entertaining Miss Rebecca with its antics.

I never asked her to invite it in, but killing is horrible.

I did suggest she propose to it, but I never, ever said she should let it in!!!

I am shy and have pity for a poor little rat, I am not stupid (really I 'm not!!!, and no you can't make a poll to ask people lol)

For many years rats figured in my nightmares, that was thanks to James Herbert and George Orwell, but they were mean nasty rats.

This rat was just a bit lost.

I hope its gone on to bigger homes, where it has been video'd for posterity by the home owners and will soon appear on a cable channel near near you.

At which point Miss Rebecca will glad she didn't kill it off, all thanks to me :)

(Now if it had been my rat i would have called pest control, and hoped they took it away to a bright and better home )

:rose: Ode to A Rat :rose:

I did not hear the trap, dear rat
I did not hear it close
But when I woke the other morn
It had clapsed you on your nose.

I do not feel guilt, dear rat
Nor do I feel shame
I will not write your family
I did not seek your name.

It's not your fault you had to die
My cat is - such a slouch
He leaves your sweet self on my rug
As he commandeers my couch

I've never lived with such a pest
(meaning you and he)
If I could afford the rent alone
You certainly still would be.

Hey, Shy. :) Nice to see you.

I debated whether or not the thread is simply satire or, at least in part, a sincere request for help in response to the existence of a real rat. Erring on the side of caution (to prevent the OP's cat from ingesting poisoned rat), I posted a serious response.

LOL. :) Nice job bringing the humor of the thread back on track.

I often deal with low grade crisis with a certain degree of humor. It was/ is all quite real and faced with the option of my child being at risk and poisoning a rat , the rat will have the less appealing fate.

I did in fact purchase the Ratsack and was hesitant to use it the first night preferring to keep the wall closed. All that has been alluded to albeit satirically has taken place or in the case of laying down poison not. I would rather set a trap now, though it appears my 'friend' has gone . I also have learned peanut butter as opposed to cheese for future reference should it necessitate.

Thank you for your contribution.
 
This is a funny thread but I know just how you felt!

*hugs*

I could tell you many, many stories of "presents" my darling cats have brought me, even now when they don't get to go outside, they find things to bring me. They say I am a horrible hunter. They've put me in remedial school for that now.

I am glad he is gone.

I am very glad your son is not at risk any longer, but I could not have even contemplated killing him.

Thats what Doms are for.

They can make those difficult 'YUCK' decisions and clear up afterwards.

I like to make them to feel useful :)

As for Johns ratsack option, what the hell is that?

I am torn between imagining a rat with a stick and a red/white spotted hankie tied in a bundle at the end sadly walking off down Miss Rebeccas path and a rat with an enormous 'sac,' standing on its hind legs at the window and wiggling its testicles at Miss Rebecca with a 'come hither' look in its eye!

Either way I think I may have it wrong lol

This sort of talk just makes my chest swell up with pride. ;)

Sure, we're great to have around. And god, we're so damn good at so very many things. Like giving instructions.....

"Go to the hardware store and buy the biggest rat trap available."

"Spread the peanut butter in the middle there."

"Pull that spring back...."

Etc. :D

Right. You're wrong.

Ratsack is a brand of poison, and not my preferred option. But I'm glad you misunderstood, because damn, I have an entertaining mental image in my head right now. ;)

Another post that needed a spew alert!
 
So..................

First you kill the penguins and then it's the rats.

What's next, kittens.
 
Neither here nor there but

everytime I see this thread, I think of the actor Jimmy Cagney "You dirty rat! You killed my brother!!!"

I thought of that too. Good lord we must be ancient.
 
Some people I know use a "have a heart trap," then drown the poor things.
