Hi, just the other day, I noticed there is a rat around our deck
out back. It seems to be eating the bird food that falls to the
ground, (2 bird feeders mounted on deck.) This is a somewhat
rural area and has a population of squirrels, chipmunks, bear,
groundhogs, deer, rabbits etc. So, seeing this unfamiliar site has
thrown me. We have 3 large house cats with full sets of claws, so
I'm not too worried about the rat coming in and surviving, or
should I be? Anyway, this is 1st time I've seen a rat around here
and I'm not sure if I need to be concerned?

What to do?

Give him extra food so he likes it outside. I do.
