There were rats running around my house. So, I got three cats. The thing was that my cats would not chase the rats, in fact they ignored them. First, I would see one rat running through the back of my closet. Then as time went by it was two, then three, then groups of two and three. My cats were big and well-groomed and fed and so it would appear were my rats. Soon the rats were running in packs all over my house and my cats would play with each other or lay and lick themselves with no apparent interest in the rats. These rats, I must say, were energetic. Always running along the base of the walls. All were adults and large, brown, brown – gray and other such rat colors. These rats were generally neat and well behaved, never a dropping or any damage was found and quieter than a mouse. Soon I accepted the rats and I would watch them run around the house as I worked away and my cats would groom themselves and play. One day as one of my cats lay at the foot of my bed and groomed himself, I pulled back the bedding at bedtime, what to my surprise, three rats ran out from underneath. My cat just lay there grooming away. At that moment I realized, with great certainty and relief, the rats are in my head.
