A first-person account from off the beaten track, as told to Anne Ford.
“One guy had a meat market. The rats were feeding on protein, and they were quite large. The guy sent me down to the basement and said, ‘Watch out for my cat.’ When I came up, I said, ‘Yeah, I found your cat, but I need a shovel. Did you have that cat declawed?’ He said, ‘Yeah.’ That cat didn’t have no way to defend herself, and the rats saw her as another meal. It looked like they ate half of her.
“I’ve met guys whose wives were sitting in the middle of the room in a laundry basket, freaked out. They were gonna split up because the wife was gonna go live with her ma. But I cured her phobia, so she’s planning to stay. There’s no way anything’s gonna get in their house, and if it does, it’s gonna be mine.
