I had won so many battles in my life and I say I  became a fearless Rambo in this jungle called life. Name it, emotional breakdowns, financial difficulties, three  cesarean operations, widowhood, boredom.

And now I’m facing a new challenge in my life that I have yet to win and that is, how to outwit a rat.

I don’t intend to bond with this creature that’s why I still can’t tell if it’s female or male or gay.But I do know that it has it’s habit of making a noise when I’m sleeping at night , not  really minding if I’m around if it wants to gnaw on something ,or the knowing looks it gives me, so I would presume that it’s a male.

Rats are very intelligent I know but I am fully contented with my somewhat peculiar intellectual capacity ,so i don’t think two heads will be better than one in this case.  And yet I have to be calm and talk to this creature and convince it to behave or transfer residency because I’m not accepting boarders  and lodgers. Even if I live alone with my two dogs, I’m not solved with the idea that he/she can give  me good company or maybe teach me some others things in this life, like how to survive being jobless.

So the battle begins.

Strategies and Setbacks:

Food Baits – I can’t imagine myself getting grossed out at the thought of having to deal with remains of a dead rat and I don’t have anybody with me who is readily available.

Mouse Snap Traps – i have been vocal in my social network sites about my support for animal rights and that for me, vivisection is cruel. So I  think seeing he/she all bloodied is enough for me to pass out.

Kitty Cat – My dogs hates cats.

Marry Again – This idea is really amusing but scary , and yes more expensive, so the rat challenge is enough for me to deal with, thank you.

After thorough analysis, Armageddon.
