jj,
Re: Pets!
You're purrfectly right, as usual Madame Chairperson.....
Take those cave-paintings at Lascaux, for example: the drawings of buffalo were not in fact done to illustrate Palaeolithic hunting methods, but actually show the aftermath of an argument between a caveman and his mother-in-law.
It is now generally understood that Neanderthal Man was eventually out-competed by water-buffaloes, which then became part of the early hominid stem ancestry, while the Neanderthals (apart from certain football-following tribes and the strange group known as 'tabloid editors') became extinct.

Re: Rats & Cats & Curry
I used to have a pet rat and a ginger tomcat. Both were very affectionate to me but didnt get on with each other for some reason. Its true btw I REALLY did have a rat but not at the same time as the cat for obvious reasons. The cat came years later.
Rats are much better pets than gerbils or hamsters and far more intellegent and docile. I once fell asleep naked while the rat was out of her cage and got bitten on my foreskin. The nurses at casualty thought it was hilarious. I was only 11 years old btw before any sicko suggests I was being a perv. I can laugh about it now but at the time I was very embarrased when the Indian doctor joked by saying "Oh my God! An elephant has bitten this boys penis!". True story that one. Honest.
Now I have a dog instead. Not as exotic as a water buffallo but much easier to clean up the shite after hes had my leftover chicken madras. He loves a good curry but he doesnt like beer after the incident when he drank a pint of bitter as a puppy.
I am going now but perhaps next time I will tell you all about my sisters gerbil who gnawed through a wire underneath the fridge and snuffed it. We only found it because of the smell.
