The cat & the rat ...

[WatcherOfTheNight]

That bloody cat !
Always up to no good .
She came running in ,through the bedroom window onto our bed, with a rat in her mouth
I jumped up ,DH screeched at her ,she ran down the stairs & off out through the back door .

I've no idea where she's gone,I've been up & down the lane but no sign of her .

On the plus side she took the rat with her. Could be worse. You could have a rat and no cat.

Omg I'd have to burn the house down!

She came back at 5.20 with it still in her mouth.
She sat sopping wet at the back door, in the pouring rain,attempting a pitiful meow out of corner of her rat filled mouth and tapped the glass with her paw .
Then ran off when we gagged decided to open the door .

I know she loves me ,I don't need gifts with tails

I'm going to have to rescue it aren't I ?
I hate rats ,I'm not worried about many things ,but rats ...eewww

Garth no ,in those circumstances,DH would have a rat, but he'd have no DW or cat !

The rat probably won't be rescueable at this stage.

She'll learn that she doesn't bring live prey home. There's usually a scramble in this house to lock the cat flap when a cat appears with an animal it's mouth. We are deaf to all entreaties to let them in until they are empty mouthed.

I had to check your user name op as I thought I'd written it!

Pusspuss brought us a thankfully dead rat in during the night a few weeks ago.
We sleep on the ground floor and had our bedroom window open so puss could let himself in and out. I was sound asleep and dh had his earphones in while he watched something on YouTube. He said their was a lull in the video when he heard the familiar thud of the cat jumping down off the windowsill when all of a sudden he heard the door crashing open and a load of commotion he thought we were being burgled but it was the cat playing football with the dead rat. I just remember dh saying the cats brought a rat in and my eyes were wide open!
