Hi all.....well its been raining here in cambridge and what do rats do when they can't go out to play???

A good idea and very well taken. It must have taken hours and hours to train the rats to play chess.

Yup it's cheese we like, not chess, that's a difference of an s and 2 e's.

Rats are cool and this shot helps to reinforce this fact. Great shot of some great rats.

The kittens led the way, the rats are just following their lead. But I have to say that the rats play fast and loose, this is going to be an interesting game.
WE WANT MORE!!!

very clever image, are you sure they are not playing CHEESE? It is the version of the game known through out the rodent kingdoms.
