Another vignette from dear old Dublin.  The cat and the rat are on display in the crypt of Christchurch Cathedral.  It's believed the cat chased the rat into an organ pipe and the two were discovered mummified when the organ was being cleaned.    Not only are they tourist attractions, but the twosome have their own place in literary history:  James Joyce mentions them in Finnegan's Wake
