They are very cute, Cass. I would be scared to death to let either of my hunting kitties near them though! Thanks for sharing the pictures. That one of the tail is especially neat!

Hehe, my cats know better lol. They have been raised since kittens with several different types of rodents and small animals. They know it's a no no. In fact, most of my rats love to play with the cats, and they chase eachother around the living room, actually playing. Rats can be nasty, and if the cats do anything wrong they can bite hard lol. I have to watch out more for the cats then the small ones, as the rats will bite their tails and paws if they get too near the cage etc. The rats have taught them well lol.

Brownie and Ewok are especially bonded and sleep together all the time. Brownie (the rat) will actually cuddle up to Ewok, who will then procede to clean his companion.....................sometimes he tries nursing on the rat lol, which is cute. Since Ewok opened his eyes he has been with Brownie, and they are really attached to one another.

Cheetah is tolerable of the small ones, but one wrong move and she's out of there in a flash. The rats scare her lol. She gets along with the female rats, and will cuddle with them, but the boy's are much bigger, too big for her liking, and she thinks they will attack her.

But ya, my kittie's are very good. The ONLY thing I would not trust around the cats are small snakes and birds. Larger birds like cockatiels are fine, but anything smaller than that that flys, I need to be careful with.
