This morning I woke up with a rat sitting on my feet
Copied from my facebook and I don't know why it won't let me take the bold off.
We had a pet rat, until he escaped months ago and has been living under/behind our dishwasher, counter, fridge. We have nearly caught him many times, but he is always too fast! So, this morning I was half asleep and felt something walking on my feet. I thought "we don't have a cat anymore.... and that's too small an...yway....." then I opened my eyes and in the dim light saw something fuzzy sitting on my feet. I thought "how did a kitten get in our house?..... oh wait! It's the rat!" Of course as soon as I moved, he ran away, but I shut the bedroom door in time. Then I spent the next hour trying to trap him. He kept hiding under the bed, but ...would come out when I was still to try to figure out how to get back out the door. Then Damien woke up and we discovered that the rat had run into the closet, behind the water heater. Damien was able to get him out and finally out of the house! Yay! Now we can finally clean behind our dishwasher (again!) and not have to worry about him pulling any more food from the trash can back there.

Eek! At least he was a former pet, right? That makes it a little bit better.

Re: This morning I woke up with a rat sitting on my feet
My first thought would *not* have been "Oh, quick, let' catch it." It would have been, I need to change myself.
