Cats and rats

Loopy caught a mouse the other night. Nasty me took it off her to see what reaction Tommy would have, seeing as how he doesn't appear to be a working feline and hasn't shown any hunting ability yet.

He grabbed it and wouldn't give it back, so I put him out the window to eat his score. Two minutes later, he was back in. He went to his bowl, put the mouse in it, ate a few bikkies and then ate the mouse. Loopy went without her mouse - Cat Karma at work.

The moral of this story is: just because one eats like an animal, does not mean one must dine like an animal.

In the meantime, the Rat Empire is striking back.

"A sper­m’s quest to fer­ti­lize an egg is a lone­ly one, as sci­en­tists tra­di­tion­ally por­tray it. But for rats and mice, that’s not al­ways true: the sperm can join in­to teams, de­ter­mined by who they came from, re­search­ers have found...

...Rat and mice are pro­mis­cu­ous an­i­mals. Con­se­quent­ly, more than one male’s sperm may be in the fe­male at a giv­en time, fight­ing its way to­ward the egg in an at­tempt to be the one that can fer­ti­lize it." more..

I'm not quite sure what to add to that, but give me some time, something will come to me.
