what's that smell?

have you ever been perplexed to find a cat and a rat living together under the same roof? it sounds like tom and jerry, but apparently it happens because rats get used to the smell of a cat over time and react differently to them. a new scientific study has found out that rats can identify the scent of a new cat introduced into the same area and differentiate it from that of other known cats.

so basically a lazy cat is even less of a threat to a rodent. grrreat.

rate my kitten

so as wrong as it is to judge something based solely on its outward appearance, this is pretty cute. you are supposed to rate the kitty's cuteness on a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being the cutest, but i give them all 10s; i don't think i've ever met a kitty that wasn't a 10. being the proud guardian of one heck of an adorable little guy i put Miles' pic up, looks like i'm not the only one who thinks he's a cuite, he's got a 7.79!
