The rat is a determined creature, as they seem to be taking over the globe. Called a nuisance, because of their abundance-- the fury-animals are much feared. Truly believe once humans wipe each other out-- it will be a rat-world. We have all encountered them throughout our lifetime, in a home or on the streets. The elusiveness makes the rodent hard to catch, as trapping them doesn't always work. Leave food out, they'll find it, as they have big appetites and will eat anything. People and cats are their only known enemy, but are few and far between-- as the rat-population is multiplying at an enormous rate!
