She lived to be about 14 I guess and then some neighborhood dogs got her... Haven't had another cat since the two of them went.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857536998475120271.post-1791829104960723432010-07-06T13:36:51.615-04:002010-07-06T13:36:51.615-04:00What you need is a huge cat; a Maine Coon or some ...What you need is a huge cat; a Maine Coon or some such. :)Gabriele Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205770868139083575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857536998475120271.post-39711466652050804632010-07-05T21:24:59.813-04:002010-07-05T21:24:59.813-04:00yeah this was a Norway rat..

I'm really hoping there aren't more... but if it's not these then it will be others.. <br /><br />If it's not one thing its another.. I trim back the trees and run the squirrels off.. and then the rats move in..

Esp. <i>rattus norvegicus</i> can get HUGE - we did our rat genome research on those, not the pet variants (which don't represent the original genome).Gabriele Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205770868139083575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857536998475120271.post-78490902701765568222010-07-03T11:53:40.610-04:002010-07-03T11:53:40.610-04:00Well if we are talking World of Warcraft Kobold...Well if we are talking World of Warcraft Kobold's.. as in really huge Rats.. then absolutely.. <br /><br />This wasn't quite Princess Bride sized.. but it was considerable...
