Yeah, I heard the story this morning on NPR. The boy-mouse sings his little mousy head off when he smells girl-mouse urine.
Hey, whatever turns you on.
It is probably one of the least relevant scientific findings that have been found since the turn of the century.

Had you never seen Cinderella? At that point, Disney was actually basing their movies off of facts, not someone's two am Cosmo break.

You should have seen the look on my cats face when I played those clips. He came running to the computer! And his eyes dilated to the max.

Hmm...when I played those clips our six zebra finches all did their alarm call and my 11-month-old daughter tried to imitate the squeaks. I'll have to try it in front of the cats at some point.

Does this have anything to do with Terry Jones playing The Bells of St. Mary on the mouse organ?
