11 punkpie 06.12.06 at 6:08 am

oh no you did NOT say “beep… beep….”

LOL!!!

Meg, I don’t know how you do it… *cackles with laughter*

12 Katharine 06.12.06 at 6:36 am

Heh! The mice are positioned just above the Uno-playing cat. Could they become the kitty’s game winnings?

13 Aubrey 06.12.06 at 7:18 am

Bet they’re relieved they weren’t transported in a Cat.

Mice? The image filename is: http://mfrost.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/rats_tonka.jpg

So are they rats or mice?

16 Yorkie 06.12.06 at 11:45 am

Those are lovely little mice, Ant! The orignal warm fuzzies.

This pic makes me miss my own mice soooo much…haven’t been able to have any since my son was born :(

17 Wisefool 06.12.06 at 11:56 am

I love rodents. Those look just like my rats did as pups. Nothin’ better in the cute world, I say.

18 hrh.squeak 06.12.06 at 12:11 pm

Cutecutecute, whether meeces or ratses.

I was in Petsmart once and a small rat started flirting with me BigTime, I wanted him so much but my stinkymean kitty (as opposed to my sweet baboo kitty) would have made his life Living Heck.

Who’m'I kidding, if I had a bigger house I’d have a rat or two, a hedgie, a bunny or two, and dwarf hammies. And I would take One Million Pictures and send them all to poor Meg and drive her Nuts. Good thing it’s all a dream -

19 A thinker 06.12.06 at 12:39 pm

“Why are we here?

And, what are we doing?

And, can we get down?”

20 Danielle 06.12.06 at 1:53 pm

ewwww. I’m sorry, but ewwwww.

21 Michele 06.12.06 at 1:54 pm

aww little mouses! that reminds me of last night, I was with my husband housesitting my moms house, and they have a mouse problem, and he saw one and was like “ah! i just saw a mice running!” I was like “a mice?” lol it was funny.

22 greenighs 06.12.06 at 1:56 pm

A truck load o’ meeses! Beep beep!

23 Teddy 06.12.06 at 2:01 pm

holy geeezz that’s a lota mice.

teddy

24 Tigger 06.12.06 at 2:01 pm

Not so fond of the rodentia, but it’s still a cute pic! :)

25 sal 06.12.06 at 2:06 pm

Those are definitely rats. I’ve raised plenty of these little guys in the past to know the difference. Big giveaway is the thickness of that tail. I don’t know any mouse with a tail that fat.

oh, and..uh…’beep beep’.

26 Wisefool 06.12.06 at 2:22 pm

SWEET! I thought they were rats!

To anyone who is rat-squeemish, trust me. It’s only because you never got to know one. I was not sold until I got two little pups and raised them. They are smart, sweet, and VERY affectionate (they clean me when I come home).

Rats – try them. You’ll like them.

27 Laurie C 06.12.06 at 2:23 pm

Uh-oh. Rats or Mice? Dare we inflate this into a commentroversey of 1000+ posts? (Nah, don’t take the bait. Because it’s POISON either way!)

28 Alex 06.12.06 at 2:30 pm

I love how the rightmost mousie is moving so fast it’s blurry on its tail and head!!!

29 snowball 06.12.06 at 2:33 pm

< :B)~~~ = :)!

30 snowball 06.12.06 at 2:34 pm

arg! it didn’t show up! twas supposed to be keyboard version of rodent equals happy!

31 StuInCa 06.12.06 at 2:36 pm

Those are definitely baby rats. Anyone who has had a pet domesticated rat will tell you that they can be very smart and cuddly pets with tons of personality.

32 Jenny 06.12.06 at 3:05 pm

Sal and StuinCa, I’m afraid to tell you that you both are wrong.
I work as a manager at Petsmart and I see these little critters on a daily basis there, plus I’ve also had both rats and mice as pets.
These little kewties are fancy mice, and not baby rats.
Rats, even as babies, have more elongated bodies than mice do, and slightly longer noses.
Either way, there sure ain’t nothing like a truckful of mouseys to start your day off :)

33 greenighs 06.12.06 at 3:54 pm

“You’re one of those little fancy mice, aren’t ya?”

34 alice 06.12.06 at 3:55 pm

[nervous scrambling sounds]
*These* guys sense the yumyum dreams of snoozing kitteh.

35 Kris, in New England 06.12.06 at 4:28 pm

I love all animals (except bats) but this is kinda creepy.

Cute, but gives me the creepy crawlies….

36 finn 06.12.06 at 4:42 pm

i think so, alice. in fact, i believe these meeses were conjured up by these kittehs:

37 alice 06.12.06 at 5:01 pm

“Me me me!” say the dive-in kitties. “I call the toffee-colored one!”
[wuh oh]

Aub — you could prolly do “Breeders of a Pack” too.

40 M- 06.12.06 at 6:06 pm

Since no one else has it has to be said… “I love mieeces to pieces”… can’t remeber the cartoon but its the quote that keeps coming to mind! :)

41 A Fine Morsel 06.12.06 at 6:08 pm

What lovely ears! So seashell pink!

42 Theo 06.12.06 at 6:25 pm

M- … Wasn’t that Ronald Reagan?

43 M- 06.12.06 at 6:34 pm

*l* Not sure about that Theo… my original memory was a cartoon cat saying it, but hey cartoon cat… president… not much difference really!

44 mariser 06.12.06 at 6:45 pm

either Tom (of Tom&Jerry)
or
Jinx (of Jinx, Pixie&Dixie)

45 mariser 06.12.06 at 6:46 pm

T.,

are you referring to Reagan’s Attorney General, Edwin Meese?

46 hrh.squeak 06.12.06 at 7:05 pm

Mariser – heeheehee!

47 Theo 06.12.06 at 7:11 pm

Mariser (and M-) …yep. ;)

48 Loris 06.12.06 at 7:48 pm

Always wondered what was the collective noun for a group of little baby mouselings. Turns out it’s a “truckload”. Works for me!

49 Jessica 06.12.06 at 7:59 pm

LIAR. Those are not the baby mice I ordered! I ordered at least three times that many!

50 Claire 06.12.06 at 8:58 pm

Oh thank heavens I thought they’d never arrive! *Cups baby mice in hands and SNORGLES*

51 equus 06.13.06 at 12:10 am

AWWW! Whiskers! … Gorgeous… little… noses! *gasp* swoon…

52 Renée 06.13.06 at 3:53 am

Holy buckets of woodgie. Eeee.

53 pistache268 06.13.06 at 5:05 pm

I love mice!

54 lauowolf 06.13.06 at 5:50 pm

The front one leaning over the other one’s ear whispering,
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Brain?”

55 Theo 06.14.06 at 2:22 pm

…and Brain says, “Pinky? Only *I* may deliver that line. (And by the way, I’m over here.)”

57 Mousey 06.14.06 at 9:35 pm

Yay! Mice make me happy….every day! Hooray! For mice, so cuddly n’ so nice! Mice! Mice! Mice!

How many mice would YOU buy?

58 bubble 06.20.06 at 4:15 pm

THOSE ARE RATS! cute adorable rats! NOT mice! PLEASE don’t make that mistake! mice are so much smaller, and not as cute as little rat fuzzballs. :P

59 Mousey 06.22.06 at 12:48 pm

Mice, mice, MICE. I’m one, I should reconise others of my own species! Eak!

60 steph-loves-animals 07.27.07 at 4:43 pm

mice are cute
