For the last hour I’ve been listening to the fruitless efforts of a small, clawed creature as it attempts to climb the inside of my wall. It continues to fail at the task. While my cat sits at attention near the bathroom sink absolutely enthralled by this, I’m finding it 1) annoying, 2) slightly unnerving knowing there may be rodents in my building, & 3) even more unnerving knowing whatever is in my wall may die there, thus causing a bit of an oder problem in my apartment. I’m hoping my ingenious “ignore it until it goes away” technique will prevail as always!

Happy Sunday everyone.

UPDATE (11:23 pm): Whatever’s in there made a second attempt to escape it’s narrow confines about an hour ago. I haven’t heard it since so I’m hoping it got out to go annoy some other poor soul. The last thing I want is to wake up at 3:30 am to the soothing sounds of tiny mysterious claws on drywall.

UPDATE (12-22-08): Nope, it’s still there. I may need to take either the sledgehammer or shotgun suggestions into consideration.
