|
 |
I was doing a prespringclean yesterday. Cleaning the kids bedrooms, when I heard my cat screaming. I think I cleared my stairs in I think a single step. Ran into the kitchen and saw my cat fighting a rat. They're fairly common around here because I live on with my back garden connecting to Jesmond Dene.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesmond_Dene
Anyway not willing to put my hand in the middle of a flurry of cats claws and rats teeth I picked up my mop and hit the rat on its back. The way it squealed I think I broke its back. I got it by the scruff of the neck and cut its throat. The cat was very shaken and had numerous cuts and bites on her which she let me clean up and apply some Iodine. I took her to the vets and she got a couple of injections and was cleaned up further. That cost me £160.
I think the rat was after the cats food and the cat took offence. She's only small but hell she fights like a demon.
Can I say I hate rats.

I cant believe you grabbed it before it was dead. No way I would have touched it unless it was dead. I would have been worried about getting rabies if I would have gotten bitten. Jenni is HARDCORE.

Domestic rats are a world away from the black rats we have here.
I'm an animal lover at heart. I hate I mean it really annoys me animal abuse. But this time in order to save my cat I had no choice.

That's why we bought the place Spykes.
I think it wanted food. I mean not many people know that rats eat meat. So it wasn't about to give up the fight.

The problem solver is to get two cats. The rat may be able to fend off one but stand no chance against two. Its clear you need the extra help because if you weren't home at that time your cat may have not been so lucky.

My cat is strange she doesn't like other cats, even when she's in heat. When she see's another cat she goes into hissing mode.

I would simply scream for my Mrs if that happened to me  .
Actually I am waiting for the day when one of my cats grabs a dove and pulls it in to the apartment. Living on the 3rd floor (highest) and my cats are always on the prowl when the doves sit outside our bed room window. And now when it gets warmer one have to open the windows...well there it is. Like I said, just waiting for it.

I hope you'll save the poor dove 
1 and 2 are still amazing. |

Nothing nice about hearing an animal in pain Juba, the rat was just doing what rats do. Scavaging.
If someone was torturing a rat I'd more lightly cut the persons throat who was inflicting the pain rather than the rats throat.

That's no rat. Sorry I don't tend to carry a camera when I'm killing an animal. I take no pride in the matter. I just did it to save my cat.
