Nova: dainty paws and tiny sips...

Nova isn't the most graceful of rats.
She runs everywhere at full speed, whether she's in her cage, or free ranging.
She stomps around as if she owns the place (which as far as she's concerned, she does..)
In fact the only time Nova ever comes to a complete stand still, is if she physically runs into something, or she's too tired to bother..

However, I don't think I have ever seen any rat eat more gracefully, and with such elegance than Nova.
She picks things up with her tiny paws, and gnaws on them so meekly, and so delicately, it's heart-melting.
Unlike her sister Freya, who hits the water bottle and the food bowl, like a bull at an international glassware convention..
