Mimi, it was a big rat. We fort and I got him subdued pretty quickly. He
was about 8 inches long, body and tail combined.

(Meowmies note: It was a rat about 4 or 5 weeks old. Body around 4 inches.
Interesting my Appenzeller chickens seem to have killed one from the same
litter. Very dead in their run today.) Some cockerels will kill mice.
These young rats are only a little bigger.

Nope dat not rite. Dey are huge and scary and I brave enuff to catch dem
when dey little, stop dem getting into big ones wiv the big scary brown
teef.

Boyfriend
the very brave ratcatcher
