| Comments | My cat has brought several of these home since April 6, 2018. O thought it was dead and tried to dispose of it when it bit me. Went to ER nurse kept telling me it was a rabbit. I knew it wasn't. I finally called Environmental people they said it was just a rat (15 lbs) and threw it their truck. Sent pictures to the Game Warden on the next one my cat brought in. Never heard a word. He brings them in through the pet door. The first two were huge and the rest have small. |
