    Kat's Rat Mats is back!

    Hey everyone! Some of you may remember me, and some of you may not. A while back, life unfortunately smacked me over the head, and I had to take a step back. This meant having to close my doors and stop offering my hammocks for sale. I was very sad when this happened, as making hammocks and...

    Squishy 1/13/07 - 3/11/09

    [center:p930ipma]Squishy 1/13/07-3/11/09[/center:p930ipma] You were my sweet, wonderful, and happy boy, even if it did take us a little while to find that in you. You came to me already an old man, half your life lived with someone else. You were so scared, so unsure of me and my intentions. I...

    Welcome to Planet George...

    We join our Invader on his home planet, rightly named George.. Planet George is also the home of terrifying creatures of doom [DOOOM!!!!], but all is well so long as our favorite Invader is... Well.. Where is he? He's gone!! Maybe we're jumping to conclusions, maybe he's back at his Home...

    Finally, I can share!

    I've been dying to share this, but have had to keep it under wraps since it was to be a surprise for Dee of Odyssey Design Rattery. It's for her sweet old manrat Elvis, the sweetest boyo of dwarfy cuteness. I felt such a rat, with such a name, deserved a little bling! Dee and I both are big, big...

    Grey 2/23/07 - 9/12/08

    How do you sum up a life in a few photos and words? Grey came to me from Tekka Maki Rodentry, all the way from Philly. She was sent along with Lil, and through the kindness of many wonderful people, a rat train was formed to bring them down to Atlanta. She was a real sweetheart, all mush when...

    Penn's 29mo! [Lil: 14mo, Grey: 19mo]

    Today we celebrated Penn's 29th Monthday. This little energizer just keeps going and going and going... Not too bad for a PT patient diagnosed Oct 07!! We're also celebrating Grey's year and a half [+ 1mo] and Lil's 1yr [+2mo]. Ze "cake", a freshly baked breakfast peach puff Little Miss...

    Backyard Wildlife!

    So, I was out back smoking when I heard something and saw my neighbor's tree moving. At first I thought it was our neighborhood hawk and got all excited to show everyone on here. I tried to pick out where exactly it was, only to find out it wasn't the hawk, but a raccoon! I haven't seen one...

    Normal for boys to squabble ?

    So Wylie was intro'd to the cage, and then Wylie was taken out of the cage? The cage dynamic has changed. When you intro'd Wylie, they went through the whole pecking order, and everyone had found [roughly] their place in things. Now that Wylie is gone, they're having to sort it all out again.

    Anyone know their wild birds?

    I was outside tending the garden when the oddest looking bird perched on the fence. It had a cardinal red chest, a dusky brick back, and it looked like grey head feathers, though they may have been some random shade of brown. The head wasn't smooth, it almost looked like it had no head feathers...

    Rapid breathing, clicking, lethargy?

    Grey has been experiencing some random breathing noises for the last month or so. There's no trigger, as far as I can tell. She's been on atleast 2 separate 14 day courses of Baytril and Baytril/Doxy. Neither of these seemed to really give any improvement. Monday night I decided to try...

    Kidney Failure foods

    Okay, I think this may be something of a long shot, but I know some members either work at clinics themselves, or are pro premium foods and may be able to help me out some. My cat Socrates was diagnosed with CRF earlier this past week. The vet gave me the Science Diet k/d canned for him - and...

    Penn - 23, Grey - 1yr, Lil - 8mo

    Well, another Monthday/birthday has come and gone, and I've been a slacker and didn't post pics. :doh: Penn's ongoing battle with suspected PT continues to be uphill, but not a losing one. She's doing famously, and I hope she'll be with me for several months to come. Grey and Lil are as sweet...

    Happy Month-Day!

    My sweet Prissy Penns is 19mo old today! With her current health problems, I decided to start her Month Days a little sooner than usual. I don't think she minds much. Lil's just turned 4mo on the 2nd, and Grey turned 8mo on the 23, so everyone gets a Month Day. Today we had a mixed berry...

    The Death and Rebirth of a Cage..

    My TEK girls came down in an ALT 2 story hamster type cage that was wonderfully donated to the cause by Arlene [who was incredible and helped get the girls down to me], who had gotten the cage in a rescue. It wasn't suitable for anything but babies, and only for travel at best. I have this...

    Pic Overload

    Well, it's been some time since I uploaded the pics that have been clogging up my desktop and killing my memory cards. So, I got down to business and went through them all and got them all up on photobucket. I'm posting my favorites in here, but you can see the rest Here Baby Ball of...

    Penn's 20mo!

    Last night we had a belated 18mo party for Penn. Her birthday was actually the 3rd, but as is always the case with their birthdays stuff happened and we didn't get to celebrate it then. My sweet Prissy Penns has reached another milestone in her life and is as sweet as ever. And just as Prissy...

    Blood in ear/Update 10-28

    While I had the girls out, I was giving them a treat and noticed dried blood on the inside of Penn's ear. There wasn't a whole lot, but a good bit and mostly inside her ear towards the canal. I've cleaned her ear out with a moist q tip [took me 2 q tips to get it all off] and there's no...

    I've been lurking about for a bit, but I figured I should post a proper intro here. I am currently owned by 3 rats, Penn [17mo], Lilbum [2mo], and Grey [7mo]. Lil and Grey are from Tekka Maki Rodentry, and are my first pedigree rats. Onto the pictures! Penn aka Prissy Penns, Prissy Missy...
