It is 42° this morning and dang if I don't see some frost on the house rooftops...ugh.
We seem to get these rats in the cooler months, usually it is just one family and after we get about five or six they're gone for awhile. When we had Kit Kat, she would catch the babies and leave them on our step, but she's been gone for six months, so the rats are back. Of course my garden lures them since it has a lot of native plants that feed the birds, and rats love the same food. Lots of lakes and a creek four houses down from us also.
