Dude and his cat try to kill a rat, and things don’t go as planned
Extracting a rat from a bathroom when you’ve got a cat seems like a pretty reasonable solution. Cats are natural predators, and they often catch small rodents. Turns out, though, rats are probably a little too big for a house cat. Shortly after using a broom to scare the rat out from behind the sink, this dude realizes that he has made a very, very large mistake. He promptly screams bloody murder, as his poor cat tries desperately to search for higher ground. Eventually the two escape the bathroom; the fate of the rat is still unknown. Let’s be real […]
