Rat Extermination
It was quite peaceful when I first moved to my uncle's house last year. To put it another way, I don't see any pest. However, that changed last 3 months when we received a large number of visitors, including our relatives. Before heading home, they stayed till nearly midnight. We were all exhausted at the moment, so we forgot to shut the windows and promptly fell asleep.
We had no idea that rats would take advantage of the circumstance and enter the house. Of course, we were unaware of it until we noticed indications of their poop and a large amount of wood that had been eaten into small pieces.
It got worsen as day goes by because they got so many. Sometimes they will wake us up during sleep time by creating some banging noises. So I decided to and eradicate them. I was thinking of buying some rat poison but I was also hesitant because I have dogs.
So I went to Shoppee.com and purchased a mouse trap as well as some hotdogs as bait. I caught one and killed it within five minutes of setting it up. Then I kept putting it together until I had about 20 rats caught. I also concluded that killing it would be a waste, so I gave it to the cats. Because many of my neighbors provide them with food on a daily basis, most cats in our neighborhood have given up hunting rats.
The weird thing is that trapping the mouse and delivering it to the cat made me feel like I was the cat because I was performing the cat's duties.
Lesson learned: Don't let the rats into your home. If you see one, get it as soon as possible and don't let it breed.

Your cat looks like my cat.. hahaha.. same pattern and the looks. International cat design. Hahaha.. it's quite annoying to have rats.. they urinate, pooop everywhere and also damage food and contaminate them. I feel sorry for rats but there is no choice. Better be sorry to one than have thousands at home. 😁😁😁 Ur cat did a good job.
I’m really scared of rats but I feel sorry to them anyways they’re pest that needs to control otherwise its very harmful and a threat to our health as well our surroundings but please don’t feed them to cats (They look like eating spaghetti) hahaha😂🤣
Really? I guess my cat had a twin in other country😂. The problem with my cat is that it's so lazy that it won't chase a rat not unless if you give it to him. He will just sleep and wait for food.
Haha I don't have a choice @prettyunicorn my cat won't chase it. Well if it's a field mice I might try to eat it 😋

After catching the rat, usually people will drown the rat. But I do not have the heart to do that 😣😣
