For some reason all I could think about while reading this was that old nursey rhyme.
/this is cat that ate the rat that lived on the sailboat that Jack built

...however, authorities were unable to capture the lone cat and mouse

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. The seven wives had seven sacks, the seven sacks held seven cats. the seven cats had seven kits. Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, how many were going to st. ives?

Can't wait to see what sort of vessel he'll find next to fill with rat & cat excrement!

You gotta respect his can-do attitude.

You cannot live with thirty-seven rats.
You cannot live with even six cats.
The cabin was covered with urine and feces,
So you cannot live with those two species.

You cannot live with thirty-seven rats.
You cannot live with even six cats.
They cannot live there, Roger Dier,
Not even on a sailboat, out by the pier.

Damn, only 34 posts, I was hoping I'd be the first to reference the old Irish Rovers tune, but nope, 4 farkers and 5 posts on it already. Not so obscure as I'd thought

My mom found an Irish Rovers tape at TG&Y and insisted on playing it every driving moment for four months in the minivan around my 14th year of age.

rogertompkins		2007-01-07 10:38:16 AM

The animals all appeared to be in good condition and were taken to a shelter.

but last time..
many had missing eyes and limbs

better to stop it before it gets crazy again i guess

"I think I'm the victim of a vendetta and persecution," Dier said.

Persecuted by common sense, Dier sold his house and bought a beautiful 29 foot sailboat. "Now I can live with my furry friends in peace," he thought. But those pesky animal cruelty laws had a vendetta against him, and there was no hiding on the water for Dier.

I still have a couple of rats from the first bust.

smells like rats' ass in here

Dear Jerk		2007-01-07 11:51:23 AM

I worked with an old guy who would say he was working on 'rats and cats' when he working on misc little stuff. I like that expression.

lord_spap-oop		2007-01-07 12:24:38 PM

Well, the guy's consistant, anyway.

marymarch		2007-01-07 12:29:08 PM

The smell can get overwhelming. I have 2 rats, I have to clean out their cage at least once a week. I gave em both a bath yesterday to help, it's kinda like ferrets, but I haven't found a vet who descents rats.

DaCheeze.EXE		2007-01-07 12:58:25 PM

I bet you $5 that he has a Toxoplasma Gondii parasitic infection and it's responsible for this behavior, as the parasite bends the will of the host to continue its life cycle.

An abstract on the matter:

Marymarch:

What kind of smell are your rats giving you? I used to have two rats (males) and the only bad smell that would come from the cage was piss/ammonia if I didn't clean it often enough.
