Very catchy tune. Sadly some people do live like that.
Rats eat figs as well!
I left some dried but partly moist figs in the bottom of a glass of water to see if theyād plump up and be more taste worthy. I left them next to my computer overnight so I could eat them while sifting through emails come daylight. Next morning they werenāt there, the glass was where I left it, hadnāt moved, and no splashed water anywhere.
My resident rat has a fishing rod! Didnāt think rats were that clever!

As long as you don"t let them loose in our neck of the woods, our chicks havenāt learnt the Blue Cross Code: glad chicks donāt like figs, so no rat temptation there.

And they are so sweet and well fed. Expect they wreak havoc behind the scenes,
especially if there are any eatable pressies.
Made me think of ārat raceā.

1 Inspired by the frenzied activity of lab rats, the phrase ārat raceā is employed to depict human tendencies toward stressful, repetitive, or compulsive behaviour.
2 When rats were given toys, room to move, and companions, it became clear that rich environments improve how the brain develops and responds to challenges.
Pity that rats were used in the stressful way they were to come up with ārat raceā. These rats in their little electric race cars are the more fortunate lab rat, fun rats!
The rat that ate my figs must have put her head down under water to reach them. And how she detected the smell of figs under water in the first place is quite amazing.

I fear that if I had a weasel in the house my tenant rat would soon be eaten up! Wouldnāt wish that on her.
Wonder what the attraction of shoes is.
According to you know who, weasels can be attracted to shoes by playful curiosity, scent fascination, nesting materials, territorial or hoarding behaviour and mistaken identity.
Like the idea of a nest full of little shoes!
