250+ Things Only Rat Owners Will Understand

I LOVE this thread!

#37 Forgetting you have a rat out because they are all cuddled up in your hood/shirt/pocket.

#38 Driving over an hour or paying an arm and a leg in shipping to get good food.

#39 Saving up to buy a CN because it is the Rolls Royce of cages not because you actually needed it.

#40 Your hammock collection that has more cubes/bunk beds/pockets than your crew will ever need and yet you keep ordering more.

42. The terms 'hunky man rat' 'squishy boy' 'nakie' 'schmexy rexy'

I love this thread!

#50. Wondering how it's possible to love a little animal as much as you do :heart:

#51. Talking about a rat (or rats) that has passed away as if he is still alive because to you he will always be 'one of your rats'.

#55 - That six sense you develop in order to sleep comfortable with a rattie beside you and always know where they are so as not to squish them

#56- The look you get from the cashier at the grocier store when your buying baby food and they ask how old your baby is and you tell them "its for my rats!"

#57. Picking up your rat and giving a good sniff around the wee wee just in case something is off.

LOL! Yep it's quite embarrassing how many times that has happened to me!

57) When your on vacation and all you think about while soaking up the sun on the beach is who is missing a cuddle from mommy the most!
58) The side of you that comes out when someone talks rudely about one/all of your crew
59) When your rat photo surfing and come across a photo that makes you beyond tempted to just "poke that belly"

60. Seeing the rat entertainment/cage decoration potential in random, everyday objects
61. Being totally ok with picking up stray poops with your bare hands
62. Getting your rats to 'pre-wash' dirty dishes
63. Perfecting the art of not throat punching people who go on about how dirty and diseased rats are when you mention you have pet rats -_-
