I love Rats, my girlfriend and i have had them on and off for around 7 years, we recently got two beatifull females (as yet unamed!)
Rats have so much charachter and display an incredible ammount of intelligence something i have tested and witnessed with my own eyes!!
Some Rat facts for you people:
A group of Rats is called a Mischief
There are officially 60 million Rats in the uk.
Thats 1 Rat to 1 person
Out of these 60million, about 200 pass on Weils disease.
So that's only 1 rat in every 300,000!
Rats are scrupulously clean. They spend hours every day carefully grooming themselves and each other.
Their reputation for being filthy, comes from their proximity to man,
as they recycle the rubbish he discards everyday.
If humans were tidier, there would be fewer Rats.
They take care of the injured and sick in their groups
The Rat is the first symbol of the Chinese Zodiac -
A symbol of cunning and prosperity
The ancient Mayan civilisation used to worship the Rat,
as did the ancient Egyptians.
The herb Valerian is the Ratty equivalent of Catnip.
The pied piper is said to have used it to aid his famed rat removal efforts
I personally have found that Rats enjoy loud heavy metal, i shit you not!!!!
A Rat i had a couple of years ago called 'Tramp' loved the songs "DNR" and "Down for Life" by Testament, he would go crazy in his cage but only when those songs came on it was like he was moshing!!....He also was aware that "Down for Life" comes after "DNR" on that particular CD !!
Another Rat we had called Rudigar loved 'Painkiller' and actually stole the cd from me, i found it months after she passed away hidden with biscuits, coins and other items!
So any of you guys here like/love/own/owned or been pwned by Rats???
I'd really be interested in any "Tails" you may have to tell..........
