Joe versus the Rat - Round #1 (really there has been 3 rounds)

So, we have a little rat problem.  We have one large rat, not sure of any dependents, living in our attic.  We also have some unidentified, but assuming rats, living under our house.  We haven't tackled the ones under the house yet, (this weekend) but Joe has gone up against the large rat in the attic.

ROUND 1 - Joe let Radar (fierce wild cat) lose in the attic to take care of rat.

RAT - 1
JOE - 0

ROUND 2 - Joe attempts to grab rat as it heads up hole in the ceiling.

RAT - 2
JOE - 0

ROUND 3 - Joe puts rat traps up in the attic.  Apparently, rat so big, cannot get head stuck in trap to eat poison.

RAT - 3
JOE - 0

Joe has patched up the holes in the ceiling and put a pipe in one that Rat should not be able to climb back up.
