The scraping that sounded like you
chewing nuggets from the dog bowl,
you have form in this practice,
later diagnosed as a scratching
behind the cistern.
Google search to state of alarmum
and image of giant rat
in the toilet bowl
big enough to lift the lid
and pad about the bathroom
in search of food.
Who you gonna call?
not available for two days...
Luckily the gouging ceased or deceased
but flooding near the stop cock
and image of same Mr Rat
padding along our water supply line
gnawing with his needle teeth
through three layers of galvanized steel
and/or polyvinyl chloride aka PVC
prompted the question
Why do we keep a cat anyway?

They did chew through a pipe under our dishwasher one year. Not pleasant. A flap was installed on pipes so that they couldn't get in through them and we haven't had any problem since. Glad that they provided inspiration for poetry!
