Yeah. You don’t ever really get a RAT. You get RATS. PLURAL.

They breed at an insane rate.

Had a problem years ago when we didn’t have cats for a while,

Had a case of those MREs from the 2016 flood up in the attic. Forgot about them.

Then started hearing the skittering and the scratching. Put out poison, traps, bait, the whole nine yards. Finally had pest control come out for the problem. They went up in the attic and found that box in a forgotten space…they’d eaten an entire case of MREs and nested in it. The smell…ugh.

Have cats now. No mice or rats.

My cat has thumbs, polydactyl. I like to think he picks them up by the neck and chokes them to death.

Once my cat got rid of the rats, he switched over to mice. I would walk into the dining room and he'd just be laying there, all relaxed, with a single mouse sitting up right in front of him - completely still. I could reach down and pick the mouse up by the tail (they would be covered in saliva) before he would start to struggle. By then it was too late as the next step was to fling him out of the kitchen door into the back yard. The cat would be under him before he hit the ground. It was his favorite game. Eventually, all the mice were gone too, though.

But it was when the cat found a bat in the house that shite got real.
