Meet my gorgeous rat!!

[Tati]

Cute! She somehow reminds me of of an ex-boyfriend... and I don't mean that in a nasty way - she really does somehow!

[Sleuth]

well oh really rat-lady?! do they have different breeds or rat-shows!?!

my rats better than your rat!

i hope not lol that would be really sad. But it is true that they do have their own unique characteristics and personalities:

Gidget - is a livewire never stays still - very intelligent but also quite clumsy which is hillarious because she very self conscious and trys to pretend like "its all good you didnt see anything" when she makes a mistake or looks silly. Although now that shes getting older she enjoys being scratched behind the ears and she licks you when you get the right spot.

Bindi - was a brilliant jumper very athletic. Should have called her houdini because she was constantly figuring out how to escape. But when it came down to it she was very loving and caring. I broke up with my bf and this was one of the few times that she ever stayed still and she laid beside me while i pathetically cried my head off.

And finally Cinnamon - She started off really timid but she quickly learnt that we werent going to hurt her. She was actualyl very lazy and i could get her to sleep on her back in my arms she loved having her belly rubbed. She was always sittingg/sleeping on my neck.

I had never guessed that it was possible to have the words 'rat' and 'gorgeous' in the same sentence.

I have to admit that I am guilty of associating them with grimy sewers and general unpleasantness, but this one does have a rather adorable face.

Let me make sure I understand the rules, here. It's not ok to make fun of fat sloppy stupid Britney, but it's ok to give alcohol to an animal.

Right.

[macabre]

I am quite impressed, several women that do not scream or reach for a broom at the sight of a little rat. Ladies, you have made my day and my hat goes off to you.

[MrsMarsters]

I think their cute..except their little tails..

[macabre]

Bindi is the Crocodile Hunter's little girl's name, how cute!

Let me make sure I understand the rules, here. It's not ok to make fun of fat sloppy stupid Britney, but it's ok to give alcohol to an animal.

Right.

I'm not sure about an actual rule but I would say in this thread it would be a bit silly to make fun of fat Britney. This thread ia about rats.

well oh really rat-lady?! do they have different breeds or rat-shows!?!

Well I am not sure about different breeds I am not an expert here, thus you dubbing me "rat-lady" is flattering but not fitting. I do know that pet rats are quite variable in appearance, they may have different colors and markings, their fur may be straight or wavy, or they may have no fur at all, their ears may be low-set, and they may have long or short or absent tails.

[milky*mcgee]

I love their names but am curious to know how they came to like alcohol?

[Lobelia]

I'm not sure about an actual rule but I would say in this thread it would be a bit silly to make fun of fat Britney. This thread ia about rats.

It's always appropriate to make fun of fat Britney, in any thread.

I'm still not convinced that it's appropriate to serve cocktails to rats.

[macabre]

Well if you like to make fun of Britney in rat threads then SO BE IT!!!!

I think I'll head on over to a Britney thread and talk about rats!

[loulou58]

I'm still not convinced that it's appropriate to serve cocktails to rats.

Im sure that a human excrement and other such things found in a sewer cant be much better for them than alcohol. Id rather have a cocktail than eat shit.

[Lobelia]

Good point. Cheers, rat!

[Tati]

Id rather have a cocktail than eat shit.

I think you've found a signature!
