If you leave a mouse inside a cat overnight, the mouse will have completely disolved. How many cats is too many.

Got to go get another Diet Coke now.

Still toxic, but without harmful sugars!

I stand corrected (and caffeinated!). Oddly enough, clinicaltests have shown that that half of a can of Coke left inside a mouse overnight will also be completely dissolved, although with terrible consequnces to the mouse’s sanitary facilities.
