It turns out there is an artist named Jeff de Boer who makes armor for animals...
I'm not talking about protection for police horses or bomb dogs. I mean plate armor for mice

He's got dutch blood, it explains everything, no one from the country is sane till the opposite has been proven.

Obviously, armor isn't the choice for everyone... however for the sake of argument we should consult members of the rodent family to find out what they think about armor plating....

I don't think those images show up quite as you think they do.
Although the whole idea of making armour for mice is just so, so, very very cool.
but everyone knows hamsters would PWN mices to pieces

No Boxy, it's the RoCatEer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketeer), silly.
Ah, yes. The RoCateer. My apologies, it's been a wee while since I saw the movie.
... about 17 years, I think.
I must get the cat armor.
just call me BATTLECAT!
