Have you ever had a rat?: Yes, four actually - almost six. First came Kurt & Logan (hooded rats; Logan was black hoodie, and Kurt was a gray hoodie, lol). Logan reached a good age for a rattie but when his health suddenly took a turn for the worse he was taken to a vet for advice... but was laid to rest later that day. I still feel like Kurt died a few weeks later of a broken heart for the loss of his brother, they were so tight, no matter how many cuddles and love I could give... I couldn't explain to him what happened, and it still upsets me. After that I went a few years without any because loosing them was like loosing family. Then along came Dewi & Brevi... a pair of dumbo rats (Dewi was a lovely shade of solid stormy rex gray, and Brevi looked like a light gray husky). Dewi went the same as Logan did after about a year of life with me (;_; I have the worst luck most fo the time and nature can be so cruel), and because I knew Brevi would likely live a long time on his own if he didn't go like Kurt I tried to get two young rats to bond with him for company, but that didn't work out... and so he remained my last rat for over a year and a half till the end of his days (I didn't have room for more ratty housing in my bedroom, so I had to return the two young rats - luckily I had made prior arrangements for this in case they didn't get along). R.I.P little guys, I still think of you in moments of quiet and smile at your faces, twitchy noses, tiny hands... and even remember the sensation of gently playing with your tails. <3
I have no rats at the moment though, maybe again in the future. For now, I generally smile - and occasionally laugh - at ratty antics everywhere.
