Sorry OP, it's not a rat. My teleporter experiment succeeded and I'm beaming my turds into your wall from my colon.

I'm going to keep doing it, so prepare your defenses accordingly.

I never understand stories like this. why didn't you just not breathe through your noses

We didn't.
You ever dealt with an animal in a state of decay where the smell permeates everything?

I bet if you released more rats into the wall, they will eat the dead rat.

Poor rat. Probably had a heart attack or a stroke in a place where it couldn't get any help and died alone and in fear. Not a good way to go.

You've got no idea. As far as we know, this might have been rat Hitler.

I found a mouse nest in my basement and setup traps on top of the foundation. One of them sprung the trap but didn't get killed. It was still alive stuck in the trap the next morning. Had to bring the fucker out to the trash. Also found a skeleton embedded in some of the insulation.

My outside AC unit thing eats 1 or 2 rats every year. It makes an awful noise and glazes its internals with rat paste. Thankfully it's outside.

The Reverand Me: May 12, 2007; Let's make Gravy!

One of those fucks died in my kitchen a couple of years ago, the smell was horrendous. The exterminator and I spent about an hour trying to find it and were about to give up or possibly start smashing walls. He found it while I was attempting to tell my wife over the phone and I've never been so loving relieved.

That wasn't the first time one got in but it was really hard to work out how they were doing it. Turned out there was some kind of break in the waste water pipe somewhere down the line and we were getting in through that. You've gotta work out how they do that and seal it off because they leave scent trails or something that others follow.

Then we sold the house and got cats for the new place.

the meaning of your post is not difficult to interpret through your words, it's just that what you are saying is bizarre

what about breathing through your mouth means you have to "taste death"? if you don't breathe through your nose then you can't smell, and that being the case you certainly can't taste through smell.

equally, what about breathing through your nose means you have to take "big gulps of air"? you just close your palate and breathe normally.

hate to have to break this to you, but neither of ya�ll seem to know how tasting things works in the least. here�s an experiment for children to get you up to speed

Are all cats equal at killing mice or is there a specific breed I should get.

It really comes down to the individual cat honestly. Some of them are just serial killers whereas my cat found a lizard the other day and just watched it for 20 minutes and let it go.

Maybe I should ask at the adoption place.
