Watching the last fifteen minutes of GW on Friday, I could hear the cat flap going. I looked out the door and Poppy was on the mat, I opened the door and she rushed in with something small & furry in her mouth, straight through to the lounge. It was sat under the settee.
I went to get something to put it in but didn't shut the doors, returning to see tail of said furry thing disappearing around the door, followed by Poppy, followed by me - it was like a Tom & Jerry cartoon.
I gave up at nearly 11pm trying to catch it and shut it in the study where it had taken refuge.
I couldn't find it the next morning, but hubby and I went to look for it later and it was in the middle of the floor, dehydrated and not very well - it was a baby rat!
We put it outside with some food and water but sadly it didn't make it.
The little minx now thinks she is very clever and a good hunter! The squirrel and birds weren't put off this morning by her though!

The best Mini can do is Flies and chicken feathers! I'm glad really tho.
B.M. you dont want rats in your garden!! Good Girl Poppy.
