Years ago when Mama was working at the Pancake House & she & Jack had Doc, she would kick her work shoes off in front of the desk they had in the kitchen. They kept feed in one of the storage buildings & a few rats found it so they put rat poison out near the feed. Early one morning we were sitting at the kitchen table having coffee, getting ready to start the day. Suddenly, a rat ran out from under the desk & keeled over dead right in front of her shoes! It was obvious that the rat had ingested poison & that's what killed it, but I got years of enjoyment teasing her about her shoes smelling so bad they killed a rat because the timing was just perfect.
