The cat is an outdoor cat that I am fostering until it gets socialized. It's very scared and won't come out. It came out once, so I don't think it's stuck. The space is so small, there is no way to push it out or get back there. I'm afraid it's going to die back there and still I won't be able to get it out without removing the hot water heater.

My bathtube faucet has been running (lightly) for 2 days. I want to wait till the end of the week to report it to my landlord because I don't want them coming in to fix it this week. They come at the worst times and this week I will be sleeping late and having my lover over. I want to wait till late in the week so that they will come when it is convenient to me. They always have the worst timing. It is just running nonstop (the hot water) in a steady stream. I know it is wasting water, but that isn't the issue. I just don't want to deal with them coming in my apartment this week. I work evenings and sleep late in the mornings and don't want to be disturbed whenever they decide to pop in.

My house is only 4 yrs old and I go through lightbulbs very often in the kitchen chandelier.
Sometimes I'll turn on the light switch on the wall and poof, three out of five bulbs will go out.
Any ideas why?

bought a house in may of 2006 and i'm working my way through the problems.

the kitchen sink when turned on full blast "chugs" or "knocks". the water comes out steady, but it sounds like it's trying to break lose a clog or something. it's a really weird noise to try and describe. it's always worked fine and to the best of my knowledge, there's no leak or anything. happens with hot or cold water.

the 2nd problem is a smell. doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it smells EXACTLY like the rat cage we have downstairs. we have pet rats and the smell is identical. we've never cleaned the cage in the sink or flushed anything rat-related (not even their water) down the stink. the rats and anything rat-like have never been near the sink, period. what could be causing this smell? it doesn't happen all the time, but after you have the water on for more than 5 mins. or so (when doing dishes), you'll start to notice it a little. the smell comes from nowhere else but the sink.
