    Rat brought in by cat - advice?

    But didn't deal with it and lost interest. Very lively rat ran into lounge and is under settee. I went to the shed at the bottom of the garden (with torch) to get rat poison. Put two small trays of "humane" poison pellets down. Closed door and put label on in case I forget. The instructions are to keep replacing eaten food until not eaten - and will probably work within 48 hours. However, I infer from the instructions that this is for an infestation -and this is for a single rat (I hope). So am hoping it will die quite quickly, then I can dispose of it safely.
    Don't know what else I could have done.
    Any advice?

    Haven't got a humane rat trap - only for mice. Have never seen a humane rat trap.
    We have rats at the bottom of our very long garden but there is a turkey farm a short field away, and a horse and stable 3 houses away - so no hope of eliminating them.
