I say mickeymousepounce has been planning a coup since the very beginning. He is craftier sneakier than he appears to be. He probably already has his team in place ready to pounce when the time is right. Da big cheese doesn't have a clue. He chose mickeymounsepounce because he ASSUMED the pounce was so DOCILE OBEDIENT non-threatening. Ever hear of the Trojan Horse?
Time will tell if my thinking is spot on or spot off. Which rat do you think will do in da big cheese? It will hafta be one of his own or it won't be a RAT so which RAT specifically?
