Bob -- I thought I was pretty good in the "animal knowledge" department for a layman (or woman) but what are "moongeese"? LOL Also I have a serious question -- is it really mongeese as a plural or mongoose, like moose? Maggie -- since when is Sampson a LIGHT nipper??? As for colour preferences, if I recall correctly, most animals that are thought to be colorblind actually CAN see in the red spectrum --- is that correct Mr Bob? And I have a cat who goes for red every time. . . red milk bottle tops, red carnations (he eats them), red pillows, red leashes, red collars, etc etc. Otter and the Mid Missouri Mini Mustelid Mob [Posted in FML issue 2072]
