That would be me. Nope, Nope, Nope. Unh unh, wildlife relocators would be called ASAP and said critter would be evicted posthaste. I couldnโt believe how nonchalant the home owner was about having it in the attic.

Yep. Same here.
I’d also be annoyed about the hole in the drywall, but that’s because I’ve done too much drywalling in my time. Ceiling patches are the worst!
It is adorable that the homeowner has named her visitor and now gets to pet her, though.

And what about the two P’s in the attic? ๐ฒ

IKR?!?! it’s got to smell….unless maybe they don’t use the bathroom where they nest?

I’m with all of you no wildlife in the house, however at some point ya just give up. I’m having a similar problem with squirrels in my crawl space. I worry about squirrel poo (which isn’t square – I assure you) and all the chewing I’m hearing. ๐ But I can’t seem to find the holes where they are getting in… if they weren’t so destructive they could stay because I’m ready to give up.
One thing I have learned from Australian friends is they are faaaaaar more tolerable of the wildlife joining them in their living quarters. A friend I was visiting, wisely did not tell me about the huntsman spider that had been hanging on her bedroom curtains for the week until after I’d left. After 10 years it still makes my skin crawl.

OMG Tara!! I would need a therapist after that even if it was after the fact!!! ๐๐ฒ๐คฏ๐ซ
Huntsman spider, just one of the reason I will never visit Australia.

I’d rather have the critter in my ceiling than in my bed.

My Christmas tree was assembled from liquor bottles. I just put them in boxes from presents and left them on the curb and the whole shebang was carted off, presumably by elves.
I’m ded. Especially from the second round of mockery.

That’s my favorite too.

Well, Australia is entirely out of the question. I started fading at the ‘…snakes…’ in the house. They lost me at the offhand “…or a hatched bunch of baby spiders.”
Say what? Obviously they’re made of sterner stuff than I am.
Right?! The nonchalance about the possibility that a fuzzy-looking patch on her ceiling might be baby spiders and this is just something to shrug at…

Oh, also? We used to raise sheep, back in another life, and they LOVED to eat donated Christmas trees. To indicate the time frame, we used to request ‘no tinsel’. Can you even still buy tinsel?
I would think the attic would be filling up with possum poop (unless it’s square, then it’s sort of cute). Possum with bushy tail is cute; possum in attic, NOPE.

I’m pretty blase and liberal about having creatures in the house. Most of the time they’re bugs of some sort – spiders, crickets, etc. – and I just go ahead and put a container over them and put them outside but something large and furry in my attic, that’s where I draw the line. The most exotic things I have had in my house was the hummingbird last week or a neighborhood cat coming to check out the place.
“Ceiling Nope is watching you NOPE NOPE NOPE”

I love the dog just looking right toward the camera. “What?”
I love the yawn. That’s what made it art.
OMG this one just made my day.

Wait, tinsel doesn’t exist anymore? It’s a long time since I decorated a tree and even longer since I bought decorations. No tinsel?!? Bah humbug!
$8.56 for 1000 strands on Amazon…
That’s a relief.
