I'm meant a BIG cat, like a lion or tiger.

OMG, I must be the only one who classes them as vermin, we had a problem with rats in the summer, called the pest control out to get rid of them, they put safe containers down with poison in, came back each week to See if they had taken the bate....and they had..........and good riddance to them too.

When I used to keep my horses at a friend's livery yard, many yrs ago, as you can imagine they where a big problem........god I hate those things........I used to make such a racket when I went into the feed or tack room....as you could guarantee there would be one just waiting to jump out at me.....

He (my friend) had a ESP who was the best ratter you could have, I used to send her up tot he tack room first, to root em out.

DK is that the actual rat, or is that a tame one, it looks like it has been set up to have its photo taken

Not a fan of rats, I know people love and keep tame ones, but YUk!!!!!!!! I would run a mile , even from a tame rat.

Update on Bob2 , Losos your plan worked hun, she came out after me and Sherie sitting freezing for at least an hour , so Midget as she is called is safe and sound and i even managed to get my hand under a hole in the shed and get the little baldy babies all 5 of them ,So they are all safe in the warm again .
Now i just need to think of a plan to get Bob 1 under the shed , thanks for all your kind replies ,xxdk
