Do you see what I see? Or am I just fooling myself?

Does Suri have a wee smudge on her nose?

6 million deleted pics of baby girls zooming around to get 3 clear shots. LOLOL.

I have always wanted a Himi. I just think they are soo sweet and I want to find out if the points colour does change due to temperature.

*Shelagh is just a-hoping that others say she is not just seeing a shadow*

It sure looks like it!!!!! My pews are developing nose smudges too... I really should post pics.. I'm so lazy, lol.

Unless she's been playing in the litter pan, (jk) she has the cutest little smudge on her nose.

 

[jorats]

I see it!!

About the points changing with temperatures... my two siamese/himi never did.

 

[ratamataz]

I can see it too really well in the last pic.

 

[mamarat2]

I see a smudge!

Daisy's nose point gets darker if the temp in our place gets cooler. She is a smeeze.

 

[Melissa]

My smeeze get darker as they age

 

[Lise]

My beautiful siamese lady Tevy has always had noticeably darker points in the winter when the temperature gets colder.

I definitely think you have a beautiful himi there Shelagh! Yay!

 

[jorats]

OMG OMG OMG...

I've got one too!!!!! My pew has turned into a himi! Sweeeeet!

Am I crazy?

What kind of a silly question is that? Well, yeah, duh, you do without to take care of critters that others budget for getting rid of (sorry guys)...
Now 'crazy' is relative of course. There's not-so-good crazy, and then there's a crazy that is part & parcel of genuses & artists & forward-thinkers or people especially gifted in ability to understand & care for other species. Kind of of an enhanced passion & understanding.
Ok, lecture done.

Yeah, Suri definitely has a marking there!
My first ratties found in a parking lot - girl/boy - had 13 babies and lots had color on their backs , but as they aged it actually diminished so only a few retained it! And enhanced on the faces of those who I didn't realize had color (maybe thought at first they hadn't cleaned themselves after eating).
Mom & some babies I've learned since were siamese or himi I guess. (I thought dad was PEW but I didn't know what PEW or Himi was then, let enough to notice if a rat's 'dirty' spots were always in the same place)...

If Suri's like the ones I had her markings could get darker, eh?

Look at you Toronto people gushing over himis. You can hardly give them away here. But blues you seem to be inundated with and I might have had one close-to-blue (Coors) in all my ratties....
Just goes to show you how many of the homeless are probably coming from 1 main source in any region
:redhot:

Sowwy

If it makes you feel any better I have only had 2 russian blue hoodeds. Jo get the blue dumbo's up her way. I do have 2 pearl merle's though, but until less than a year ago, I had never seen/had a dumbo, black berk...or even a himi...now I have one dumbo and 3 black berks and now a himi

Unfortunately we do know that most of our "fancy" rats must come from the same stock. We are seeing too many blues and dumbos to the point now that they are being dropped outside. The males are almost all aggressive and the girls are bullies. So we are getting the fancy looking ones but not the nicest, I'm afraid.

Now that part sucks. Either aggression issues or health problems with your ex-petstore stock.

Lol! I took 5 baby boys Aug 1/04 I was told were blue and was tickled to have blues for ages til I was told 3 were agouti, 1 was beige & white and one ? was Coors. Not that you care when they're your babies....
But how am I gonna feel better from you having enough blues to distinguish between types when I don't know blue from agouti? Lol
I'm just happy those kids make it to you. You know, my favorite ratties (each for their own reason) I recall instantly relating to me, I don't see their color til I look for it, right?[/i]

Oooh my smeezer did! I was so excited to see him get his "winter points" and sad when they went away.
