I think I spot a rat...a Lego rat? mouse? In both #4722 (at his feet, under the red suitcase) & #4723 (on the mantle). It's dark grey and has a different tail then the kitten, unless this is a new kitten? There is a picture of a rat in a cage in the (...)

Oh wow. I didn't think they'd be this good. I mean, yes, they do seem a bit juniorized...but they have many, many pieces great for "castle" use.
