The Coventry Arms an the A31 near Corfe Mullen has a cat skeleton in it. When they were re-roofing it a few years ago they found the cat in a sealed off section of the roof.
It was put there when the place was first built, it's job to kill all the rodents. Once they were all dead, it died too. Wouldn't be allowed today, but very effective.
Well I never, I've been past there a good few times in my life.
Ironically now I no longer have a cat (I inherited one) I don't ever get them coming into the house itself. It was the cat food that attracted them.
Yes.
Don't worry he will work out what to do once he gets hungry.

Our four cats are good at catching rats. But like to bring them as presents to MrsBP.
Cat flap now locked after she spent 2 days hardly able to use the kitchen with a wounded rat behind the freezer. She checks the cats before opening the back door after one shot in recently with a bird. Which was thankfully dead.
What's that, the daily mail predicting the worst winter since annals began?
Who could have forseen that coming.
Everyone, because they publish the same story of doom every single year.
Torygraph joined in this year. First predicting a 'scorcher' of a summer and then an epically freezing winter, heralding the next ice age. Neither have come to fruition so far. It's been milder and warmer than recent years, but that's about it. To be fair, it's probably their sources, as the weather is difficult to predict even a few hours in the future.
What are they on? It's December & I'm not even out of shirt sleeve order yet
Besides, I get them in the loft every year. There's nothing you can do about it when you live in a tumbledown old cottage in the middle of nowhere. I just make sure they don't get into the living accommodation & hope the sods don't chew through any pipework.
I'd never use poison but I might try one of those plug in sonic devices & see if that sends 'em packing.
There's a perfectly simple solution to your alleged rat issue, fantasise a different house other than the one you're currently making up, voila! Rat issue gone and some new features to make up lies about, all good

There is something you can do about it - Buy a Jack Russell terrier
