I have been thinking about rats and how they show us love like licking and bruxing and such. Well today Wayne and I cleaned their cage. We put the girls on the bed and left the room to clean the cage. I went back into the bedroom a few minutes later and they came running to the edge of the bed to see me. I left again and Wayne went in and they came charging again and as he knelt down Hazel jumped onto him. They obviously did not like being left along on the bed alone. Apparently cage time is for rats and out time is for rats and humans. So Wayne said that we would have to take turns staying with them. They had actually pooped on the bed, which they normally don't do, and peed all over me. I took this as their way of saying they weren't happy about being left all alone on the bed together. I'm ok with that. As Wayne cleaned most of the cage, I sat with them and they would not leave me along, at least one of them sat on me the whole time. LOL. I thought it was cute.
This got me thinking. I can tell they love us, but I wonder how they know we love them? I mean they get pets, nice talks to, taken out, treats. I guess they would know by that. It's a silly question but it got me thinking.
