I have been searching for rat poop under the sink... in the cupboards... just not finding it. When I first moved here two years ago, there was a baby rat that got into the cough drop drawer and shredded the paper... now THERE I found poop everywhere.
I know I should just let the cats do their thang... but honestly, the one that had it in his jaws has this teeeeeensy little mouth, no claws... and the other one is a big wimp. I'm afraid they'll get bitten or something.

Yikes!! I lived in a placed called Wendover for 4 years and we had rats. Mostly they stayed outside but we had one big giant rat that got into the house. It was a huge river rat, the damn thing ate through the wall behind my coffee pot and jumped onto my counter. I don't think I have ever moved that fast again in my life (and I was pregnant too!) but I didn't catch it. I used those mouse traps that are like giant clamps, so that when it catchs them you can empty the carcuss into the garbage without touching it. They work great. It caught a bunch of little mice and some big rats. However my Rottie caught and killed the giant rat. She was an awesome dog fast and fearless (ok well only if it was something small LOL) but the sweetest dog I have ever had. So my advice get the terminator mouse trap or a Rottie

sounds like your cat already had the situation in hand before you came in and screwed it all up. bad tina!
I know!!!! I actually screamed like a little bitch, LOL... it was embarrassing...
There is an electrified trap that runs on like 6 or 8 D cells... it supposedly gives a lethal jolt once the door swings shut. I had NO idea that there was so much juice in those damned batteries! I have decided to let the apt complex place their jaws of death traps under the sink and keep my fingers crossed--two years ago when I first had an uninvited guest (never out in the open though, ick!) the trap they set killed the mofo in less than 48 hours. Nothing like a dead rat ass to greet your eyes when opening the cupboard for the electrasol.
OMG Jenn.... I would have had a friggin heart attack! Good thing for the Rottie (but don't they eat cats, too? :p )
a mouse pooped in my gym bag the other day. Left it opened about an inch in my garage, on top of my db rack. The mouse made a nice nest inside it. Had my o-shoes in it too. Luckily it didn't touch those.

My Rottie used to play with the neighbours cat, and the horses across the field. Rottie's are really sweet dogs I know 5 different ones and all of them were big mushy sucks. They are great mousers though!!

We had a Rot-Chow mix as a teenager and he was the best dog I've ever had. I would try to lay out in our drive way and he was ALWAYS the first one in my lounge chair.
And we had two cats, one that would wind around his legs and he would greet her in the usual dog fashion. They were GREAT friends! It appeared that we might have a possum problem by the looks of all the dead ones we were greeted with. I think the spaniel would catch 'em and Sarge would kill 'em. They made quite a team!
Good luck, Tina. Maybe they could use some shitakke mushrooms??

More like a ratlette. It was a baby rat--either that or a mutated giant mouse. Knowing the levels of pollutants in SA... it's possible.:p

Geez, Jamie, I was eating my dinner when I scrolled to that!

Yup ... she ate the whole thing, except whatever those items in the bottom picture are ... then puked it all up on my doorstep ... nice. My three-year old came running to tell me that Sadie (the cat) left us a present!!

Ok - RedWife - uuummm. I just don't know what to say about that last post. You deserve some sort of award for uglies, grossiest post EVER. It is so like you guys (and us) to take a picture of it too.
I am too scared to look at it to figure out just what it was too....
Thank God my cat brings me dead animals that aren't in pieces.
About a 5 weeks ago, I started smelling animal smell in the house. I never found poo or food being tampered with so the professionals couldn't figure out what to do. I finally figured out they were eating the cat food, the only thing left out. I moved it and now cover when we are out. I left out poison where the cats can't get to it. The traps have yielded nothing and the bait is still on it.

My guess was the animal's colon: the large intestines (black), the small intestines (non-black worm looking stuff) and stomach (solid pouch of junk).
I'm just glad he leaves it at the door and doesn't try to bring it in...my mother had cats that would bring half-dead lizards and stuff in. Yikes!
You're just going to be a riot when Jack gets to the age where he loves disgusting slimy stuff! Coolest Mom ever!!
