Friday Comic: Animals in the Attic

For the last few months I have been hearing noises when I am upstairs.  Its a clicking or a tiny knocking.  I imagine little animals in my attic.  Doing little animal things, planting trees, chewing holes, leaving messes in my insulation.

When I would hear the noise and I was home alone some time I would knock on the walls to try to scare the animal and my my attic a less ideal place to live.

I would check the outside dormer to see if I could see tracks.

I had hoped that when Dad was visiting he would hear it and say something, hopefully something encouraging, like it won't be difficult to get rid of the animal in that has taken up residence in the attic...

Dad never brought it up.

I was talking to Andrew last weekend when the noise happened, it sounded close, I broke mid-sentence to exclaim "did you hear that? I think there is something in the attic!"

He replied, "I am pretty sure that is my computer's hard drive."

Upon further investigation (unplugging the computer) the squirrel has appeared to left the attic, so Andrew is probably correct.
