The book is called
"CelebRATTIES:The History of Rats in
Film Television, and Literature".
As a long time animal trainer, CJ has been working exclusively
with rats for the last ten years. During this time, she's
been working on a collection of tales about these animals
on the sets of motion pictures, television studios, and even
in books.
This work is the history of these animals POST-plague eras.
Since the late 1800's, rats have been used not only as laboratory
animals, but as pets because of their intelligence. They have
been used to illustrate Eisenstadt's Kine Eye, Kine Fist principles
of film making. They have been honored in cartoons, then vilified
by the same studios.
In fact, what she's found most interesting is the relationship
of the use of rats in entertainment to climate of the social
psychology of the given generation. In literature, rats as
characters seem to parallel metaphorically as leaders or followers
of the political climates. So, this book shows not only the
amusing anecdotes of these animals as performers, but as reflections
of the day.
Cathe's rats have appeared in rock videos, CSI, Showtime,
and Animal Planet's Pet Star.
