I have always talked about the slipstream effect with rats when they die. Sometimes one rat will pass and then another and another, like they get caught in the slipstream of the first one's passing.
Well yesterday and today was definitely one of those days. All 3 girls were cagemates, although only one lived in the main cage these days, the others have been bedrats, Cece the longest. I found Nao last night at the bottom of a pile of rats in the hammock. I always find this sweet, that they don't abandon their friend even when they die as most rats will avoid a dead body in a cage.
Then at 3:30 am her closest friend Airi slipped away while cuddled up to my side. At 3:30 am now-sweet Cece finally decided to join them. All were elderly with issues but why all within 9 hours of each other?
darling little Nao, the nicest Atlantis rat I knew...
her bestie Airi, who was a former breeder for a girl in Brampton who was dumping her.
Baby Cece when a former member had her, and ended up rehoming before moving to TX. This pic was taken Nov 17, 2013 giving you an idea of how old she was. She was feeder stock.
The Wondertwins I called Cece and her sister Cordelia, along with their other passed friend Rosie
and little Cece sleeping on my bed a few days ago...
