Though I am a Caturday person , that is extremely cute.

He/she’s so adorable!! I love ratties! I so miss my lil “Smooshie”. She was a chinese hooded rattie (like the one in the pic) and was smart and so trainable….like a puppy. She used to go to high school with me, hidden under my hair…until she got too big. She was a full 2 lbs when she was full grown. She scared the daylights outta my Mum at first. But when I joined the service (U.S.C.G.) Mum took care of Smooshie for me and became so attached that she cried so terribly when Smooshie passed away. *sniff* I miss me rattie. ROCK ON RATURDAY!!! btw-kittehs rank neck and neck wit ratties- I am owned by 3 who rule the house with an iron paw

OK, so where is the stitching diagram? My rats are demanding this!

Vickster… I am all there with your Mum and give her a Hug from a fellow Mom who thought Rats were disgusting till my daughter got her first Rat She named her Templeton and she was truely one of the most delightful pets we ever had.. I too was heart broken when Templeton Passed on. And she also went everywhere with my daughter. If any one ever asks me I always tell tehm what really good pets rats are. Thansk too for your service in the coast guard.

I stitched this using a drawing from The Illustrated Rat. The drawings are amazing — I’m currently stitching a Valentine’s Day design from the same site.

I didn’t feel comfortable publishing a pattern based on someone else’s work, so I didn’t include one. However, you can do what I did — download a drawing into a graphics editor, add text, reverse the image, print, trace with a transfer pencil, and iron on to some fabric.

And, Chester the Plush Hoodie thanks you

Oh, HOORAY Laura! What a great job you did!

We in Connecticut are very proud of our Coasties (my husband went to Connecticut College, across the way and took classes there). My older son almost went to the Academy, but UCONN got him. Thank you very much for your service, Vickster. Stay safe.
Of course, that applies to all of us, too.

Verii qte. But CATZ ROOL.
An CATURDAY iz teh best day uv teh wiik.

Very Qte.
Happy Raterday.

I envy the little rattie with his hammock and frosty tropical drink. I agree tho-”where’s the umbrella?”

I may have to adapt that pattern. Raturday, indeed.

Maybe the rat doesn’t need a paper umbrella – it may be a gin and tonic, which never has an umbrella

Laura, you ROCK! I might even give up ….no, never mind. Raturday is Just Perfect for today!

I’ll take Raturday over Caturday any time. So cuuuute!!

Yay for Ratties!!!!

The best pocket pets EVAR.

I miss my squishy boys.

Seriously…LAURA…Thanks for the wonderful art work and stitching…You are so
talented, and this looks like a work of love for ratties everywhere.

I’ve always heard good things about rats, and even the subway rats in NYC (which aren’t that conventionally attractive) always got my attention and sparked my imagination. Kudos to those of you who have 1) served in the coast guard or 2) owned rats or 3) both.

And to quote Mayor Quimby, “It can be two days!”

Did the rat make this? It’s very good. Is the rat’s name Laura? I’m confused.

Raturday that’s the day
for Rats to play.

I love the fur sticking out of the hammock, a true pro touch!
Tooooo cute. Great job!

That is sooooooooooooo cute!

ross1219: Absolutely the rat made it! The rat also took the picture (she knows how to set the timer, obv), and emailed the submission in! They really are a lot more intelligent than people give them credit for.

I love the idea of giggling rats, thank you, Lynn!

Noes! Don’t takes mah Caturday! U already has Ratatuesday. . .
