You can kill my rat anytime, ita! I'm not looking forward to doing it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Work crisis. My boss is leaving for six months (to walk the Appalachian Trail!) and we have someone to replace him in the interim. The COO snet an answer to the private email I wrote him about the replacement, where I discussed his character, etc. AND CCed THE REPLACEMENT. So my new boss knows exactly what I think his weaknesses are. Luckily, I was mostly complimentary, but jeez, way to start me off on the right foot, dude.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From Rats and Rat Riddance, a book published in 1914:
At the Farm and Trade School on Thompson's Island, where the boy pupils are taught to kill rats, as all boys should be....
I was never taught to kill rats. Maybe my dad figured we had enough barn cats. (We always had between five and 13 barn cats at any one time.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
So there's your answer, Burrell. Acquire 5 - 13 cats and problem solved.

One problem solved, brenda, but perhaps another one in offing. Although I do like cats!

Ideally they should be cats trained by their mothers in the art of hunting. Which is why actual barn cats are generally better.

Yeah, ferals around here are useless! I see them lounging around right next to chickens roaming the street. CAT FAIL. I also saw a freaking NUTRIA a few weeks ago, DOZENS OF CATS LIVING ON MY BLOCK, do your jobs!

I saw a 3 legged cat (missing rear leg) hopping around the neighborhood. do you think the cat got out of the house? it seems kind of foolish to allow that cat to run around like that.

ARGH. I hate that! People, why so stupid?
Also, rats, EW. I don't mind cute little white lab rats, but outdoor rats wig me out.
