All of you have some really good ideas, but Steves has got the right idea! You are not in the wrong, tell him how it is and do everything you can to protect your grandkids.

PLease smack him firstfour having freaking rats as pets, and second for making the rats and the cats play together. This sounds like a recipe for the kids to get hurt if the rats and cat start fighting, and for them to be heartbroken when the inevitable happens.

And the lion shall lie down with the lamb...........right; not on this planet.

My suggestion is to throw a Jack Russell Terrier into the mix.

I think your son in law should spend some time playing with dinosaur so they can become friends. It works with cats and rats, right?

Take pictures!

Perhaps if you have him newtered?
Just saying....

I find it said that he is teaching his children this. I feel bad for our youth sometimes with people like that.

[dinosaur]

Indeed. His are the children who will attempt to pet a raccoon.

Unfortunately, you are correct Dinosaur. It's a shame that adults don't act responsibly and teach their kids about animal behavior. It's really stupid to expect cats and rats to get along. It's also incredibly stupid to expect ANY wild animal to act like anything but what it is-a wild animal. They can turn on a dime. I find it especially disturbing when all of these wildlife "experts" live with the animal. It just encourages reckless behavior from those who are a few bricks shy of a load.

As a junior member, I can't post pics yet, but if I could, the subject heading would be
