Ohmygawd, there's a rat in my tree!

Sometimes lately, we let Pico roam freely in a restricted part of the house. I was in the next room this weekend, and heard the sound of Christmas tree ornaments clanking together. I found this:


Actually, that's not totally true. He was playing in the inner branches of the tree, and I had to call him to get him out of the middle so I could take a picture. He stuck his head out, climbed back in and climbed down, and ran over to me. I felt bad for ruining his play, so I gave him a chocolate chip reward. He didn't seem to mind.


He looks like a bizarre ornament in the second photo.
