What do you love the most about rats?
I just love my rats tails..in fact I love those grubby pigmented tails...
I love bruxing..it is like they are talking to me...
I love their curiosity- the way they stick their noses into everything and anything...and that they chew everything..

I love their blatant disrespect for all my belongings. They would climb up a ming vase with the same irreverence as my curtains. They make me laugh when they chew holes in the couch covers and my boyfriend's shirt. Its an endless source of amusement for us.

Where do you even start with a question like that =) I love my rats so much...at the moment I love my two baby boys' soft baby fur and I know most people hate the tail, but I love them, they wouldn't be rats without em. I also love how they wash themselves and how they handle their food so delicately  I think I just love everything about them....except when they decide to poo/scent on you!!!! |

ooooh speaking of tails and people hating them, when my boys shoulder ride i stroke their tails and sometimes make a moustache with it (how to explain... ok, you know how people hold a pen by holding it between their top lip and nose?) well anyway, thats funny to watch how people react to that!!
hopefully someone understood me lol...

i was never freaked out by rats. maybe because we had mice when i was little, a rat was just a bigger mouse! lol

i was never freaked by them, just their tails. i wanted one when i was a kid, but my mum wasn't going to have a bar of it. 10 years later, after i'd moved out of home for the second time, she gave me one as a birthday present, as she was finally sure i wouldn't be moving back home! gave me the shock of my life as i hadn't mentioned it for quite a few years. was really upset when they died. my partner went and got two kittens for me the day after to cheer me up.
prior to that, we only had a ragdoll cat. one of my girls would crawl over the cat's head and sleep on his back, and he'd sit there, very carefully, looking at us and it was almost as if he didn't want to move incase he woke her up. they were so good.
don't think i'll try that with our other 3 cats when i get rats again.

wow, you had patient cats!
Ragdolls are like that though, very laid back and easy going.

unfortunately no. the cat only ever visited my house a couple of times and the rats only ever visited my partners once. they died before we moved in together

I was visiting my two future angels yesterday, and one of them decided to wee on my jumper.
I secretly liked it, coz it means they like me already right? =D
