I shan’t deceive you any longer, my dearest; I’m afraid you’ve been living a lie. I’m a rat, Daphne. There, I’ve said it. I’m a rat and that’s all I’ll ever be. Oh, what a cad you must think me, leading you along this twisting, mazelike primrose path of deception.
It’s Over Between Us, Daphne

A perfect example of gratuitous whiskers.
That prosh gloved paw!
Yes, the elegant glove goes very well with the outrageous whiskers! What a cute rattie!
But I always knew, dear. And I — I am . . . a rodent-lover. You mustn’t leave me — not when we’ve found the strength to be our true selves at last.
well done, raymond…and don’t you wonder, as i do, if dear nomtom is properly rewarded for his brilliance?…
Thank you, cellarmouse. Let’s ask the Nobel committee to add to its list of awards: Wit in the Service of Humanity (& Animality). How else could NTMTOM be properly rewarded for his brilliance?
Well, nobody’s perfect!

And you’re leading again, Daphne!
Totally made my day. The world needs more cute rat pictures. There are never enough ratskies on C.O.
Victoria, pleased to meet you. I’m living with rats #27 and #28 (Sinjin and Tertius) right now. There are never enough ratties around. Sinjin is a rex dumbo and as he gets older, he is losing all his hair. Poor dear!
Pleased to meet you too! I’m currently living with rats #22, #23, #25, #26 and #27 (Jelly Belly, Baby Ruth, Johnny Stew, Eddie Rebel and Dawg).
Poor Sinjin! I’ve never had a rex. My Jelly is 23 months old and his once black fur is going all rusty, starting on his bum. So between the fading coat and the big dumbo ears he looks all kinds of goofy!
I’ve had several rexies and they all lose their hair as they get older. Give all your ratties hugs and kisses from me. Rats Rule!
I agree Victoria! I am currently owned by 4 handsome boy rats.
…is glad to admit to being a rat kisser, too. A rat petter, hugger, and even a ratty playground, because letting them crawl all over me is awesome fun!
I’m a rat kisser too, especially of the youngest of my unusually large family of 8 rats. People keep giving me homeless rats (not that I’m complaining). Ren is a little morsel of rattie cuteness!
Wook at his widdle Chinny chin chin!
Opps sorry… brain meltingly cute that little Rattie!
Reminds me of Ratatouille.
I was just thinking the same thing!
The leetle feengers… and the leetle peenk gumdrop nose…
ded!
and in all seriousness, what a lovely photo!
Hey, did you just give away the plot of the next episode of Downton Abbey?!???
I would not put it pass Lady Mary to bring home a rat. Acutally I think she may have already done so…Sir Richard!
Oooh, yes, I agree, re: Sir Richard. I knew he was pond scum as soon as I saw him!
But wasn’t it Lady Mary’s aunt who introduced them? Good thing it’s repeating tonight, so I can get the facts straight.
“So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.”
Literally fell of the bed at that one.
I am in loff with a ratte. ♥♥♥
Umm, rattie.
OMG – great rattie pic! More, please!
It may seems weird to some but I fell in love with rats when I saw the movie Willard when I was a child. Socrates and Ben were so cute!
Toesies!!!!
“boop” !!!!
*looks around*
*is puzzled, to not see la Therese ….”
Yesh, that pink nosie is just bustin’ for a boop! (but ever, so gently)
My new favorite NTMTOM quote: “…this twisting, mazelike primrose path of deception.” Ah, if I’d ever been dumped in such a poetic fashion, it would have been easier to take.
Adorable little rattie! I wouldn’t let this little one go, that’s for sure.
Hear hear!
I hereby nom-minate NTNTOM for this year’s Nobel prze for Lit’ratture!
Well played!
Hehehe, he looks like he’s smiling. What a charming little fellow. :3
Love, love, love that photo! *boop*
Once again…rattie whiskers are making me swoon.
No Matchink! for that peenk nose and light lipstick?
I LOVE rat-rats. I have three of my own at present, and only wish more people would realize what charming little animals they are. There can never be enough cute rat pictures on CO.
I thought that little spot on the picture (near the whiskers) was a spot on my screen, so I gently tried to brush it off. Now my boyfriend is accusing me of petting the screen. I’m not that bad! I would love to pet this little cutie though. Perfect whiskers!
I miss my rat!
Me too!
Next on PBS: Downton Ratty.
What whiskers!!!!!! They’re amazing. And I agree – not nearly enough cute ratties on CO! (My ONLY complaint!)
Eeee! Little butterfly nose and pink fingers <3 I miss having ratties, my boys were kissers/lickers, so sweet!
Anyone on here live in Seattle?
It snowed a lot,We had power outage for 2 days.There are parts of Seattle where no one will be getting for another week or 2.
I missed you CO….so so much.I love this rat…heck I love all of you.
I want to hug all of you.*hugs*
Thank you Trina . I hope you ‘re all finished with the snow for the rest of winter ! I mean you can handle monly so much snow in one season ! Oh boy !!!
Hey Trina ! (waving from Marysville, Wa.)
Hope you’re not on/near a hill !
“Mmmmm You dirty rat ” (in my best Cagney voice) leading a girl on like that !
Hello, neighbor! *waves* from Marysville, too.
Hey, peeps, speaking of rodents, did you know today is Squirrel Appreciation Day?!!!
Here’s a skwerl to appreciate:
Thanks for that reminder about Squirrel Appreciation Day! Plus, we’re only 12 days away from National Rodent Day, aka Groundhog Day. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Applause. Just APPLAUSE for Mike’s perfect mimicry once again.
