Got married in 78 & lived in a run down house in the country. I was sitting in my recliner, eating popcorn, listening to my AU 717 Sansui & SB-8000 Technics. My wife let out an OMG, I looked down & there was a rat sitting on his haunches, begging for popcorn. We both jumped up, scared the rat into a closet. The wife got our cat & threw it in with the rat. After what sounded like a Battle Royal we opened the door & out came a happy cat carrying the rat.
So That's Where my Hazelnuts Went!
Winter's here in the Northwest. Mice come up the vents into our homes. Fun.I noticed a small hole in the bag of hazelnuts I eat when watching TV. Tossed the bag.
I've been hearing a mouse in the walls near my computer work station for a few days.Last night I turned off all the house lights to go to bed, and immediately heard it again.
Logic says the little bastard was probably in my work area, chewing on cables.As I got closer, you guessed it. He'd crawled into the back port of my KEF 150's.
I covered the port, took it to the garage, and caught the fat little guy in a live trap the next morning.Opened the speaker, OMG maybe 60 nuts, and some cat food. Not the first time this has happened.

fertguy, You and your cat are lucky they didn't encounter this rat: https://nypost.com/video/rat-shows-cat-whos-boss/ |
You guys are hilarious, keep them coming... LIVE trap BTW, I have fields all around my house. The coyote's will have a 'field' day next spring. So far I've caught/leased 117 mice. Just walked 1/2 mile in 30 degrees at 5AM to let some go. Dedication. Trying to pay off some karma for hunting rabbits as a kid. |
@oldhyvmec, state of Louisiana actually did try to market nutria rat as a consumable meat but it didn't get anywhere, truth be known though, if you have dined in some questionable food establishments in South Louisiana you probably had some. As a side note, I use to trap nutria rats for there hides every morning before school and remember vividly getting a live angry one in my pirogue with me, I got out swam to shore and retrieved my boat that afternoon. I was 19 and living on the West bank in New Orleons, every night I would smoke a joint and leave the roach in an ashtray next to my real to real and it would disappear by the time I would go to retrieve it, had to move the R2R one day and found a pile of paper where the rat was dragging the joint and eating the good part, baited a rat trap with a fresh joint and got that bugga that night. Enjoy the music |
