    If you would have taped it, you could have redubbed it and sent it in to national geographic.

    “Right now we see the pack of cats defending their territory from an evil mouse. The mouse has challenged the pack by defying their natural aura of lean and mean mass-mice-murderers. We see that the pack have intelligent hunting tactics, it’s almost like the velociraptors in (the original) Jurassic Park. Which makes me wonder, could cats open doors? We’ll find out next week!”

    Way to rub in their lack of opposable thumbs, EER.

    Anyways, I have to say I feel really bad when any furry critter gets bad — even a mouse.

    I did tape some of it, actually. Unfortunately I didn’t get the best parts, as I was too busy with the still camera during that. And soon after I brought out the camcorder, Buster got a hold of the mouse and ran back out into the garden with it.

    I wish I had those cats around my place. RATS. Big, ugly RATS.

    Rats can be pretty dangerous to a cat because they put up quite a fight. That being said, I think Buster would be up to the task.

    Cat vs. Rat = Dead Rat

    PS. What is Rat in Danish? Swedish? German? Dutch (EER)? Because I bet it all sounds like an ugly, useless and annoying creature.

    Danish: Rotte.
    Swedish: Råtta.
    German: Ratte.
    Dutch: Rat.

    Damn you, I wanted to say what it was in Dutch! I can say with confidence however, that we pronounce it better than you americans! Also, Rotte means something completely different, yet remotely related in Dutch.

    I hate Swedish, the “roh-ta” pronunciation can

    It’s probably for the best that got cut off for some reason.

    The Swedish pronounciation is quite close to the Danish in fact, the difference in this case is found in the rhythm and the melody of the language rather than the actual sounds of the cyllables.

    ‘rotte’ means rotten in Dutch (what a surprise).

    PS, syllables.

    Syllables, yes… I knew that.

    Thanks :P

    Rats are awesome. Mice are awesome (look at the poor thing! Soo cute!).

    Rodents in general are awesome.

    Now what _I’d_ like to see is Buster take on a capybara. Let’s see him get entertainment out of that one…

    I’d actually kinda like to see that too. My money’s on Buster.

    I’m sure they have a zoo in København, either borrow a capybara from there and have a fight at your home, or take Buster there and loose home advantage ;)

    Don’t forget to videotape it and post it on youtube :P
