First of all, DG changed the rat's name from "Cibo" to Mittens. And here is why...
This morning, he was playing with the rat and talking to it and all and I made a comment about how it would be difficult to find Nike shoes small enough for a rat's feet. They have tiny feet.
DG informed me: "They only wear shoes on their back feet."
Me: "What do they wear on their front feet?"
Without any sarcasm or humor, he said: "Well, mittens, of course."
So there you go. And now you know where the name "Mittens" came from.
During that conversation, he revealed that he gave the rat a pardon. The poor rat has been pardoned from a death sentence of Consumption by Snake. And in telling us about "The Pardon", he made a hand gesture. You may remember, a while ago, he also told us about The Shun. And the hand gesture that goes with "The Pardon" is palm up, hand open, and a downward motion from the elbow- sort of like you've said: "Ta-dah!"
Mittens the Rat has gotten The Pardon from the Disabled Guy.
Ta-dah!

Aww, seeing Mittens in action is adorable! :) Does she like sitting on shoulders? My rats used to LOVE that.
He's taking his time with her, letting her get used to him on her own terms. She's taking food directly from his hand and even putting her front paws on his hand. He's not going to force her into liking him.
Those are his words, translated into a coherent sentence. ;-)
