Origin Story: Placebo and her sister Plague lived with a friend of a friend who was moving to California and couldn't take them along. They passed briefly through the hands of another foaf, where Plague died (and I had already picked out her name!) then to Carol, and thence to me. Update: Placebo passed away, apparently of complications from a respiratory infection, over the holidays. She will always be remembered as the entity who took me from being afraid of rats to adoring them (and being afraid of squirrels instead.)
Likes: Apple bits, corn bits, little boxes to hide in, startling the cats.
Dislikes: Boredom, getting her tail caught in the cage door (I only did it once, and I apologized) being startled by the cats.
Caution: Placebo doesn't have much by the way of claws, but she does have rodent teeth, and you bet she knows how to use them.
