Waaaay OT, hug a rat today......

for it's world rat day!!

yes I know, there's a fucking day for everything lately,

My 4 rats are tucking into a bowl of curly kale, mixed fruit, yoggie drops,
grated cheese and chunks of spam with some coleslaw as a dressing, and they
are loving it, might bake them some emp biscuits later on.

I know I'm going to receive a barrage of abuse about how all rats are
disgusting, but **** it, my PET rats are cleaner, nicer and more intelligent
than some people I know, and anyone who's had one as a pet will know they
are as loyal as a dog and very entertaining animals.

If I hadn't sold the car yesterday I'd have taken them to the brum rat show
to see if they could collect some more awards, don't think I could handle
all 4 of them on the bike (I know someone who used to ride their bike with
their rat sitting inside their jacket, as soon as the engine stopped he'd
pop out and sit on their shoulder, bet that'd shit a copper up who pulled
you over

 

I quite like rats, very intelligent fuckers. But they have teeth, so they
can **** off. I like my daughters rabbits, but they have big teeth...

Four words that conjure up a while new world of horror and tedium.

 

So boring the rats are trying to gnaw their way out?

 

Hmm, better give ours something other than left over Dominos today then.

 

Do you need a midget nuclear explosion for that?

Yeah, but that could be true of a pile of shite too. I know some people
thicker and muckier than a BIG pile of shite.

But they don't come upstairs with a piece of dead animal in their mouth,
wake you up and offeri it as a gift, now do they?

I bet it'd shit up half the population too.
Ooooo, veeery interettink.

Add some chilli sauce, it'll be fine.

 

they have teeth, but unless you hurt them, they dont use them on humans,
never been bitten by a pet rat, hamsters, rabits, gerbils tho, those fuckers
bite first and... well they dont think, so they bite again.

 

I was never bitten once in the two and a half years we had our old
hamster.

This new one, mind, has already had a pop once and we've only had the
deranged little fucker five days.

 

I once got bit on the nose by Hammy, my pet Hamster. I got too close to the
bars & whop!

Show it the sesame seed bun, processed cheese and relish.

 

He was the most mental one in the shop. Even if he's a nippy little sod
he should still have better entertainment value than the fat lazy fucker
we had before.

 

What did I tell you? <G>

 

< snip >

The last rat I saw had "had a bang on the head, you know".

 

The only thing they won't eat is garlic (so far), and we've stopped
giving them uncooked tomatos as it gave them some kind of fit, and not
in a funny way.

They don't mind spicy food, and have the sense to head straight for the
water bottle after a jalapeno.

 

our lot love the remains of curries when we have them, one of em loves
marmite, but you should see the face the one that hates it pulled when she
sampled it
they all love drinking neat vinegar puddles from our fish and chips.

garlic is supposed to be very good for them, i gave mine a clove of it once,
and they pushed it out through the bars of the cage.

the only thing i dont give my rats is orange, as it causes cancer in the
males (well, in lab rats anyway, not gonna risk it with pets)
but we can almost guarentee if the dog wont touch it, the rats will, who
needs one of those fancy waste disposal units.

 

I walloped a rat with a **** off big shovel once (should've been twice I
suppose) and the bastard thing *still* wasn't damaged enough to slow him
down.

This one had definitely stopped.

Mind, it was an athletic little bastard when it was alive. I'm amazed
how far rats can jump.

 

an unusual and interesting name.

 

The only thing I've ever been bitten by was a cat. The tortie we had
when I was a kid - would go from 'purring puddle' to 'psycho 10-knives'
in about 1/2 a second.
