Up, Up and Away

Thanks to new Ratapult technology, rats are closer than ever to finding out if the moon really is made of cheese.

The Ratapult must be kept squeaky clean.


Avi hopes the moon is one giant yogurt drop, Megan.

    I love ratties. But does his ear look weirdly human to anyone else? No?

    • Megan says:

      I always thought the same thing :P When I took this of her, I noticed the ear first and the tongue later >_< It creeped me out a little

    • easol says:

      I think it’s just a generalized ear… which both rats and humans have. :D

      And their little fingers are much like human ones too!

    • Jessy says:

      Yes. I think its because the rat has his ears back and we can see inside to the veeeery similar structure.

      • flodnak says:

        Yup, you’ve got it – those are standard issue rat ears seen from an unfamiliar angle.

        And one adorable rat.

    The human-like ear is amazing! Of course, so is the leetle toungue and the BEF!

    • Skip says:

      That’s immediately what I thought about the ear, too! More ratty pics, please.

      • ratchic says:

        I love to gently massage my rats ears while scritching their faces, especially the giant dumbo eared ones. Reminds me to talks softly around them cuz them’s some sound enhancing earses!

      There, there, dearie, just take it one overwhelming cutegory at a time. Don’t try to lap it up all in one go.

  13. Megan says:

    I had forgotten that I’d even submitted this! I’m glad to see my little rattie on CO :) She has since passed (as well as her mom and her sister rat) but they all had happy cereal-stealing lives :D

    • Simi says:

      Sorry to hear your darling rattie passed away — but it gives us all hope that our sub-mee-shons will one day make it on this site, even if in 2014!

  14. easol says:

    Awww, little rat milk mustache!

  15. Rebs says:

    Awww little Avi…thanks Megan, I completely forgot about this picture! *RIP Avi dear, you were the bestest rattle ever*

  16. agent99 says:

    Hands down cutest rat ever. :o )

    Loving the milk droplets on the tiny whiskers!

  17. hannahdrager@gmail.com says:

    What a little dear, the cute- it kills me! I might point out that she’s much, much too polite; our boy ratties would have had a death grip on the spoon and been trying to drag it under the couch to the stash. Gawd they’re such adorable little things…

    And the milk mustachio- squeeeee!!!!
