Asked Ellen:
What kind of critters not supposed to be in the house were in the attic? I'm remembering a time when squirrels got into an old, unused chimney in my childhood house. They were soooo loud and they also drove the cats crazy. One of those cats later did kill a squirrel, although I doubt it was one of the ones in the chimney.
Probably squirrels. Maybe chipmunks. I suppose some of the scrabbling could be bats; I understand that they're pretty loud when they walk. I wasn't about to stick my head through the ceiling hatch at 1:30 in the morning to find out. Actually, I've never been in the attic in this house; I don't even know if there are lights up there. The cats clearly didn't hear them though, as they were both sound asleep when I came downstairs.
We actually had squirrels get into the house proper a couple of times when I was a kid. I remember chasing a squirrel around the living room when my parents weren't home (it kept going up and down the curtains and across the curtain rods) and finally going next door to get the neighbor to help me. I can't remember whether he actually caught the squirrel or not, but he must have.
