Not very surprising to anyone who's ever owned a kitten, though three does
seem a bit more than I'd have expected. There would've been a fourth, but I
decided to stick to my first idea of a kitten meeting a rat[1], and (being
the perfectionist I am) ended up submitting nothing since I couldn't get the
rat anatomy right. (Also, I ran badly out of time anyway.)

[1] Another thing one learns with kittens around is that while domestic
cats do retain their natural instincts, actually knowing what to do with a
rodent has to be learnt - and since the same applies to rats, pet rats
aren't scared of cats. Cats can learn to treat rodents as companions instead
of prey - or they can be scared of them, as was the case for mine.

Now let's see if this works.. I'm forced to post this using Outlook Express,
which I've never used for news before.

  Hey, that's a great image idea! A cat afraid of a rat (or a mouse would be
even better) :)
