that's probably what happened. slow reaction. died in the coop trying to go after chicken feed but not making it.. The cat is very sick. I think she got into something. I have to take her to the vet tomorrow. I've had wait out the holiday weekend to avoid emergency vet hospital expenses. She's not drinking any water, nor eating at all. she struggled to eat one little kibble.

These aren't even my animals. I'm house-sitting my daughter's family's home, while they're away in Holland on holiday. I hope I don't have to give them bad news about any of the critters on their return..

Not a huge rat. I'd say it was about 8 or 9 inches long, roughly. 2banon Jul 2014 #8
