What is this mark?!

Just pulled an old laptop out of the loft storage and there's a mark on it in the dust that is freaking me out. I know what I think I look like but I'm hoping someone can tell me it isn't what I think it is! I sleep right next the the damn wall where the storage is!

I'm deliberately not saying because I don't want to influence people.

I’d say bird, likely a pigeon. Rats have 4 toes.

It's blatantly not a pigeon! See image.

Also, not all toes will have equal pressure on the ground hence partial prints are common. Rats and squirrels are the best bets.

The black thing? It's a small fan 😊

I genuinely don't know how any animal could have got in. The front of the house is a straight drop with nothing near to it. Guessing a squirrel could have climbed but not sure about how a rat would get in?

Like squirrels, rats are REALLY good climbers. Very intelligent too!

Never underestimate a rodent of any kind.
