Cute!

Rats would be wicked to have around the house, but i’m not sure they’d appreciate the cats.

We’ve got 2.

Solomon isn’t a lot of trouble apart from having a nasty habit of pissing in the house. Dave we took in one winter when he kept coming in to the house really filthy. He still acts like a street cat though and gets in fights with plenty of dogs and cats and eats out of the nearby take-away bin. He has stolen from the shop round the corner too (i’m assuming)… a whole jumbo sausage roll still in wrapper. He dragged it all the way back to the house and put it in his bowl.

He’s great but we’ve probably spent near on £700 in vet bills etc due to his hardcore nature.

thanks for the pics! Its actually quite difficult to find a good picture of a young rat on the net (also confusingly called a kitten!)..

its not uncommon for pet cats to steal items; although the wrapped sausage roll has to be a first. One Siamese stole all sorts of items including a mobile phone and dropped it in at the cat flap – it was referred to a special vet in the end for behaviour therapy!

because of the aftermath of foot and mouth you need a farmers land ID number to keep a pig (even as a pet) these days… (although all this involves is filling in a form and perhaps someone coming round to check your pig is kept in appropriate conditions)

We adopted a stray cat once, actually it more or less squated without our permission. It was the most arrogant stuck up ‘pet’ I’ve ever had, ironic considering it was a bloody stray. First time my sister and I got our hands on it we tried to throw it in a car and dump her two miles away. Well you read all these stories about pets finding their way home from hundreds of miles away after getting lost on holiday, so we thought we’d test the theory. Eventually we moved leaving the thing where it was, but me ma riddled with guilt went to look for her and she swears to God the neigbours ate the cat. It’s the way they used to look at it when we had it in the garden that convinced her. We asked the new owners of the house and they said they saw the cat one but then it disapeared. Coinsidence? I don’t think so.

cats are all good, my housemate has kind of spoilt ours, so its a bit of a twat.

rats, on the other hand are wicked! my mates round the corner have two, lee scratch and king tubby. i’ll have to try and get some shots, they are proper ruud boys. i love goin round there and making castles and runways and caves and stuff for them to explore, its like making a computer game level, where the more hardcore the rat is, the better treats he’ll find.

my girl’s sister used to have hers livin under her jumper all the time- even went to school with her! she has a lot of holy jumpers now.

ratbert and ernie! cuter than cute! say hi to them both.:weee:

have you introduced them to the snails? i wonder which would eat the other first?

rat vs snail deathmatch savagery.

or the rats might just clean their shells for em! :good_evil

ps: stick up pics of the snails- theyre rude!

He probably didn’t think it would do any harm. But I hate animal cruelty. I can stomach human cruelty much easier (although it’s still a bit shit like).

Being a meat eater, that’s probably huge hypocrisy on my part though.

I used to have two rats, Fang and Demon. Contrary to popular belief they are actually very clean (females don’t smell as bad as the males) and very intelligent, they make excellent pets. I loved mine so much, but then my little sister decided to hover one up, and the other died of lonliness….shame..
