force-groom? i'm not sure what it all entails but i know when one rat jumps atop the other and starts cleaning it that's what some people call 'force-grooming'. well my cat and tortoise have agreed to 'force-alert' me. this means they have agreed to do what they can to keep me up all night and all day. all in hopes to push me back to the first shift schedule i was getting so good at. snuggles said she would slap me if she noticed me doze off and lenin said he would drive his nails into my feet if i dozed. good luck guys.
