This is Obama and Trump (I'll let you guess who's who), my first two rattos. They really opened my mind to the concept that pretty much every animal has a unique personality and temperament. I had to put them both down at different times due to ill health; another thing I quickly learned about rats. Still, we thoroughly enjoyed each others' company. Best lil dudes ever <3

Pretty sure on the other side of the rainbow bridge, rats are highly respected (as are all animals) and of course live forever! Some animals just skip through to the next world faster than us.

Such cuties! I had two rats too when I was a teenager. Some of the best pets I ever had <3 until my new stepmother at the time didn't like rats :( Would love to have rats again, although I'm not sure if the cat would like that ;)

Love rats! But after being gutted losing two mischiefs, my heart just can't take owning them anymore (or maybe they owned me??). Love to see them on my... dash? Are calling it a dash?

[-] Aywren@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Sending love to your rattos! Thanks for sharing!

[-] Latebloomerbetty@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Such handsome fellas. They must have brought a lot of joy.

Rats! Rats! Rats! Rats!

I'd like to see one of these two in office over the humans we've been getting. Unlimited yogis for everyone.

Rats are so wonderful. Everyone matters, no matter how small.
