We cannot stand intruders of any kind. Even a fly in the house is not tolerated. Uninvited guests of our kind are treated with disdain. Sharing space with members of your own family is sometimes difficult. How then would you put up with an almost invisible creature that would not think twice before exploring your wardrobe and shredding it to a truckload of tiny pieces?
Rats and mice do not need your formal invitation. They welcome themselves anywhere. The sounds in a rat invaded kitchen seem more like unseen spirits cooking. They even play hide and seek. They chomp into anything that comes their way, everything edible and inedible. From cosmetic soaps to wood, they don't seem to care for the taste. They chomp relentlessly as if they were the angels of destruction. All they seem to want is shred everything that has a definite shape leaving us angry and awestruck. How do they bite into hard stuff like it was a piece of cheese? Why plausible intention would they have to bite into something that they don't want to eat? Why tease us with this show of invincibility? |
