One way to clean out a rats' nest17 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This story, The Yellow Rat, is understandable in a way, though I don't see myself torturing a rat like that. If it were a lawyer, well, I can see that as justified.

dear Dolly, Thank you for this review. I think I've
answered you in another part, so I'll leave it at that. cheers Cass
Comment from lyenochka
Hahaha! That's hilarious and also a rather humane way of pest control. You told the story so succinctly and the dipping into yellow paint seemed like an odd revenge but it worked perfectly! Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from pome lover
well, weren't you the clever one; but tell me, how did you catch the male and have the courage to hold him????? Don't think I could've done it. I have caught mice in little cheese traps and taken them all and thrown them in the garbage - traps and all, but without touching them. and they were just mice.
Anyway very good biographical non-fiction story told in a few impressive words!

Really? You caught a rat/ Painted it Yellow? Released it? and the rest of the rat pack hightailed it out of town? What happened to your poetry? Good luck with your entry.

Comment from Julie Lau
Lobethal in S.A.? Hey there fellow Crow Eater (well, almost). That was a good story, and a very novel way to clear out a nest of rats. I used a Siamese cat, myself. She was also good at robbing rabbit burrows of kittens, and seeing snakes off the property. All the best, Julie Lau

dear julie, sounds like a very talented cat. Snakes???
We had a cat that died of snakebite after there was one found under the baby
cot. Back when we lived in the boondocks. 1945-1946. I started school at 6
at Waltowa Primary School.I was there about 4 weeks when we came back to town for the birth of Mum's7th child. cheers Cass

Once my ex passed a snake in the hallway. Trouble was, he was going out; it was coming in. It was just a baby. We found it and vacuumed it up.
