The rat found our inventory of laxative suppositories and for a couple of nights had quite a feast. After the second or third day of throwing out chewed-up suppositories, we found a 'trail' which I will leave to the imagination and no further problems with rats.

Cats are independent and many of them quite loving, even helpful when one is trying to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. They rarely need ministerial support, just a bowl of tuna and water will do.<br /><br />We had a dear priest many years ago who had a "sacristy cat". He not only kept the parish free of rodents but would also come to the sacristy to guard the priest while he vested; waited there patiently for the Mass to end then followed him back to the rectory for breakfast together. Everyone in the parish loved "Catty Chism" and when he passed at the venerable age of 20 years, the parishioners threw a wake for him.PlainCatholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795596623546394780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-69861891271642014112010-09-09T10:22:22.632-04:002010-09-09T10:22:22.632-04:00Father,

Perhaps this rat will be with you for awhile to harass you like "the Grapin" did with St. John Vianney.

This disease is still present today in the US, though far less common. Over 30 different types of disease are associated with rats and their droppings. They include Rat-bite fever (Streptobacillus moniliformis bacteria), which is transferred from rats to humans by the bite of a rat. Rickettsia virus can create a condition similar to chicken pox. Hantavirus is outlined below. Eosinophilic Meningitis is an infection of the brain, and caused by rat lung worm angiostrongylus cantonensis. The droppings of rats can cause Leptospirosis or Salmonellosis.<br /><br />Good grief people find a healthy place for the Clergy to live!Tophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13343588404569783817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-88358711465666518462010-09-08T18:51:47.212-04:002010-09-08T18:51:47.212-04:00Saint Gertrude of Nivelles is supposed to be the p...Saint Gertrude of Nivelles is supposed to be the patron saint of those who fear mice.
