The only proper thing to do when you find a cat sized rat is kill it. They need to napalm that entire jungle just to be sure.

Yes, I believe you are right. Still, it isn’t 5 times bigger than at least one rat I saw on Mason St. in S.F. This thing must have been close to 10 inches long (not including tail). It was scurrying alongside of the buildings at Mason and Geary in broad daylight and ran into the theater that is located near there. Must have been late for the matinee.

Not the rifle, the VIDEO CLIP in the article.

The ones in downtown Oakland are almost that big, I’d estimate 8-9”.
