Happy World Rat Day

Yes it's true, a day to celebrate the rat. Now in its eighth year the aim of World rat Day is to recognize the rat as a wonderful pet and companion animal for people of all ages.

It's a popular day amongst the rat owning community and apparently for rats themselves. Organizers claim that many rat fanciers will choose to celebrate World Rat Day by planning private parties, with friends and family attending and possibly bearing gifts and treats to unsuspecting and surprised rats.

For me though, It's a time to reflect on the boys I have and the rats I've lost. 

Fang here was a sweet little guy who I lost much too early.

Rats do make great pets and I hope with all the rats pictures and stories I've been telling my readers for years that some non rat lovers see that they aren't vermin or pests like some tend to believe.

They are sweet, loving pets.

  1. Never knew there was such a day, but with cats, I'd never be able to have one at my bay.

  6. I feel bad for my girls because I didn't know that was a day. They did get a treat of choco curls for breakfast though, so I think they know they're loved. ;-)
