And the Moral of the Story is...

...that the species of the kind pictured below, who aspire to the likes of the Great Houdini in their ability to escape the safe confines of their cute cages....



















Do not belong in the same household as this species, whose prowess as a hunter has been greatly exalted throughout the centuries. (although you couldn't tell that from the picture... nice hat, eh?)

















Yes, there was a massacre at the Nut-House this morning. The last of our beloved gerbils has been, er.... eliminated.

Ben the Cat has been banished for the morning and is on petting and purring terms with no one.

:( Poor little guy. How're the kids?

(On a side note, this is EXACTLY why I'm glad that Matt resisted when offered ANOTHER kitten. He said, "It'll be company for Wallace". I said, "Wallace would EAT HIM.")

Sorry for the massacre, though!
