Rat 'the size of a cat' captured in attic

[Still Waters]

The Brobdingnagian rodent was found by pest control who had been called in by Grace Walters and her family after they heard loud scratching sounds coming from the ceiling.

After being captured alive, pest control measured the rat at a massive 24 inches (61cm) from nose to tail - almost three times larger than a regular brown rat.

For all those who think their house is haunted because they hear scratching sounds.....check the attic first.

Or don't cause there could be a damn 2 foot long rat up there.

Just play it safe and burn the thing down.

One day you skip merrily through the woods to visit your dear old granny,

" Oh Gran mama, what a big tail you have...."
