Here is some speculation about the cat and the mouse. The inner reaction chamber may well be what Rossi calls the cat. The volume which houses the heating elements may well be what Rossi calls the mouse.
The Cat has a high COP due to the fact that it contains nickel Micro/nano powder. But the mouse has a COP just over 1. The mouse must also use hydrogen to produce a small level of reaction which is base solely on hydrogen nano particle formation since there is no nickel present in the volume of the mouse. The hydrogen must react with the bulk metal in and around the mouse.
