Yesterday I stepped into the shower and turned the water on. I turned to reach for the soap and guess what I found in the shower...
If you guessed a RAT, then you guessed right. Umm...but it wasn't quite as cute as this picture. Oh and another thing...it was DEAD. Apparently the cat thought she needed to bring us a present. Oh the joys of an indoor/outdoor cat.
And why does this song keep playing in my head?
*Special thanks to our friend SS who so bravely removed our dead little friend for us! (There was NO WAY I was moving that darn thing!)

OMG! I thought that we had sole jurisdiction over the rat population here in NYC! A year ago, when we caught 4 mice, was so creepy and horrifying! I really sympathize!
I probably would have moved!
Ew. I am the only one in my apartment who is comfortable with the removal of "wildlife."
Guess it comes from growing up in a place where your showers have gekos, and cockroaches are the size of your palm.
Oriyenta, It has been a while since I have looked at your site. I am all caught up now, although I must admit being best friend El, I have lived these things with you. First and foremost, I am with Neil, the for sale sign would have long been up. When PHD returned from work there would be a forwarded address for him! As you and Lo know I am really big on stuffed animals and am totally freaked out by anything living.
I once stepped into the shower and found a live rat waiting there for me. And no, I am not talking about an ex-wife.
Oh, blecch!!! I don't think my lazy kitties would ever catch a rat.
Hey, at least it wasn't a cicada! We had one of those monsters flapping around under our bed last night...
Orie- that has to be the cutest RAT ever! Do we get a picture of the real rat?
Oh yuck. Oh gross. Why didn't you and LO check into a hotel immediately? As my daughter knows... I don't DO rodents.
RM - Maybe they go south for the winter or they retire down here :)
Neil - believe me, I told PHD that if I found another one, we are moving!
Annie - Being comfortable with the removal of "wildlife" makes you worth your weight in GOLD. Hmm...would that be the place where Little Orieyenta is from?
El - so if we brought one of these guys over to you house, you'd give us the whole house for free?
Jack - That's just wrong. ;)
AMM - Ooo - I am so hoping I don't get to see any of those cicada things - they are so CREEPY.
Ami - that's just gross. But spoken like a true Dad with 2 boys.
BN - We would have but thankfully it was in the morning and I had to go to work.
Wait until you hear the rest of the story.
Oh my gosh, I would have absolutely DIED. Seriously. Shabbat Shalom chickie!!!!
Some say it is a bad luck to have a dead rat in your house, let alone in your shower. Not good if you are on the receiving end of that one. Yikes!!
Jack - I'm waiting with baited breath.
Z - Believe me, I wanted to!
Anon - Good thing I'm not superstitious. I'll stick to the vet's explanation that the cat was either trying to feed me or trying to tell me that she likes me.
