More rat oddity

Oreo is in a bit of weird a weird mood.

I walked in an hour ago and she had her head sticking out so I waved a cornflake at her... no reaction. So I bapped her on the nose with it. No reaction. So I tickled her chin with it. No reaction. Finally she just sort of went "You want me to hold that?" and grabbed it lightly. Then just sat here staring at me with a cornflake hanging out of her mouth.

Also I took up a “Near UV”" blue light – it’s like a UV light but it’s just… really blue. It makes stuff fluoresce, but kids can’t use it to turn their eyeballs into lumps of pale white goo. I wanted to see if it would make rat pee light up. Mostly because I was bored but it occurs to me it’d make it easy for me to see which corner they picked as their toilet.

Anyway it didn’t work but it turns out Trudy fluoresces white when lit up. Yeah. I have a fluorescent rat. JEALOUS YET?!
