If you’ve ever owned an outdoor cat, you’re likely well-acquainted with the “gifts” they leave for you. And by “gifts,” we mean the unfortunate remnants of some poor creature that might have once been a chipmunk or a bird. However, in one unforgettable incident, a cat named Pickles decided to share his latest conquest with his family in a far more dramatic fashion.
In a video shared by Pickles’ owner, Lisa Hayes, titled “I Might Just Set My House Ablaze,” viewers are treated to the sight of a massive, very much alive rat that Pickles proudly paraded into their home. The sheer size of this rat would make anyone second guess their homeownership.
The video is a riot, showcasing the family’s frantic reactions as they grapple with the reality of their new housemate. While the humans panic, Pickles appears completely unfazed, as if he just scored the ultimate plaything. Lisa’s pleas of “Pickles! PIIICKLES!” echo through the chaos, a familiar refrain for anyone who knows how little cats care for commands. When she shouted “DO NOT GO INTO THE KITCHEN!” it was clear Pickles had his own agenda.
You’ll definitely want to turn up the volume for the moment when Lisa exclaims, “OH MY GOD, THE RAT IS STILL ALIVE!” This moment is followed by her utter disbelief as Pickles loses interest in the creature: “OH MY GOD, HE JUST LOST INTEREST IN IT, WHAT THE HECK!” Honestly, it’s hard not to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
As the saga continued, Pickles enthusiastically carted his newfound friend upstairs, but the rat was far more clever than expected. Instead of succumbing to the feline’s hunt, the rat cleverly escaped and, for a whopping 36 hours, roamed freely throughout the house.
In a follow-up post, Lisa detailed the family’s struggles to reclaim their home from the determined rodent. “We had to barricade the bedroom door. My son slept in the living room, while my daughter and I shared a bed on the first night,” she recounted.
Wait, “the first night?” Oh dear! They even confined Pickles to the room, hoping he would take care of business. When morning came without any sign of a deceased rat, Lisa made a beeline for the hardware store to grab some traps—talk about desperate measures!
After another sleepless night and a few traps later, the hostage situation finally came to an end. “I woke up to a blinking red light on the trap, and the good news was that Mr. W. was now responsible for dealing with the rat,” Lisa wrote. She took off for some tennis, leaving the chaos behind. When she returned, well, let’s just say, RIP to that rat.
