Ever get a wild animal in your STR?

Just got a call from one of my tenants.  He's a boilermaker foreman working night shift.  He said that he could hear a creature walking around in the attic above his bedroom.  It's not really an attic, it's more like an unfinished 3rd floor.  The stairway to the 3rd floor is entered from a doorway in the guys bedroom.  He said he could hear a creature walking back and forth while he was trying to sleep.  He thought it could be an opossum, cat, squirrel or a really big rat.  

I'm collecting rent from there this evening.  I told him I'll bring a handgun and a flashlight and will investigate by climbing up the stairs to confront the creature.  I told the guy that he'd be walking in front of me.
