Re: What a week!rat

Probably take Sugar about 10 minutes to search and destroy that rat. She was
doing her daily rounds of the rose bushes eating grasshoppers one day. Some
man walking by stopped and watched her reach in and snatch them one by one
and eat them. He asked me the same question. She's so good. I do have to
replace the mini-blind this weekend that she used for a ladder to catch a
moth though. Oh well. They were not designed to hold the weight of a 15 1/2
pound cat.
