The Very Obstreperous Rattuses

After an inexcusable absence, the self-referential, happy-go-lucky, and irreverent Little Rattuses™ are back in a big way!
Taking a break from their TV talk show, they return to the rural farm where they first appeared only to find that things have changed!
Where is everybody? And is that a cat lurking in the barn?
And oh no! Centruroides the Scorpion is back! What's to be done?!
Don't worry! The Little Rattuses have got you covered! They found a new friend!
