This is Linka wrote: I haven't watched your video Opal, yet. I just wish we had this rat vacuum in England😹 Linka, you could try a wire-haired dachs or a Jack Russell. They can be good ratters. We never knew we had a rat until I found a corpse in the kitchen, guarded by a triumphant Spock (our dachs whose name I use). He caught mice and lemmings too. Good instincts. But the squirrels were too quick for him, luckily. He has now crossed the Bridge to the Happy Hunting Ground. Maybe the celestial squirrels are slower.

(We know the rat lived under the kitchen, when carpenters took up the floor due to a leak, they found its home.)

My present owner, Circa (grey tabby lady) would probably run away from a rat. She is scared of birds, but does catch smaller things (mice, lemmings, spiders).
