[QUOTE="leaveittoweaver, post: 75881, member: 4055"] Agh. Another rat lover here. I really miss having rats. I probably had 12 rats over the course of my teen years. Lost some to getting respiratory issues multiple times to the point of lung scarring and getting pneumonia. Eventually it would kill them. Some of them died of cancer. And I had maybe one or two die from old age. I so miss having rats and like someone else stated, the only reason I don't anymore is due to how fast they die, they are so easy to become attached to, it is heart breaking to lose them. The last one I had, I took in because he was a senior who essentially needed a comfy home to live out the rest of his short lived days. He was a sweet boy, I miss him. I miss my first rat Herbie the most though, big double rex boy. I manage a pet store and we get rats in pretty frequently, I'm glad I get the opportunity to play with them and interact but I don't think I could own them again. Wonderfully smart little creatures. One of mine knew how to stand on his back feet for treats. They all knew their names. Simply amazing. PS. Your cats and hamster are cute too!!! [/QUOTE]
