Kind of like a Guinea Pig, but smaller. I propose we call it a "Half a Crown Pig".
Curiously one slang term for 2/6 was a "hog."
Another "tosheroon" seems more a marketable term. "Tosheroon Pigs 10/6 in this style." :)
Cannot imagine your average cat is going to be overly impressed with the prospect of woolly mice.

The theory behind this is that the mammoth 2.0 would protect the tundra against melting of permafrost by removing dead grass. I initially found that a little difficult to follow as I'd have thought insulation would have helped keep it cold. I realised they must be thinking that geothermal warming is the problem and they want to encourage heat loss.
You need a big dog. I can sell you one - doesn't bite too much, frightens delivery men, opens doors (never shuts them), eats anything, digs holes, growls and barks at owls, low flying aircraft, people passing in the street, occasionally wees in my office - your mileage may vary.
Most dogs learn early that they can bark at cats but not approch lest they get their nose striped.
Dogs have claws but they're blunt not sharp.
I needed to check my cat's ears out coz he was scratching a lot. Sorted now.
My right arm however now looks like a war zone.
Still love the little bugger. ;-)
