Rat Stories  How many babies do you think I have? ( Read more... ) Current mood:  curious.
Hello. My name is Hermi. This is my first journal entry. Mommy (lj-user="scaredykatratz">) says I'm going to be updating more then the others. Mommy got me January 7, 2004 at a PetCo. She also got her very first rat Hamlet there too. Now Hamlet is my aunt. Yes she is! Mommy found out where PetCo got it's rats and called the lady. Hamlet's sister is my mom! Hamlet's cousin is my dad! I look just like Hamlet. I never met Hamlet. I am a black "dilute" with a blaze. Mommy says that black dilutes with blazes are her favorite colors and marking combination. Now I was born December 3, 2003. Aunt Hamlet died that very same day. Because I look just like Hamlet and act a little like her mommy thinks Hamlet is me reincarnated. I don't know what that means but it seems to make mommy happy. Mommy introduced me to one of her cats. I started chasing it around the bed. I'm not at all scared of that silly ol cat. Mommy says that her bond with Hamlet was so strong Hamlet went into a body just like her last one. *shrugs* Humans and their silly beliefs. I live in a nice purple cage. Mommy will keep me alone for a while. She did that with Hamlet. She didnt'' know rats needed friends and Aunt Hamlet was alone for 5 months. She is going to "breed" me one day. She says most likely one of my daughters will be my cagemate. But I don't have a daughter! Mommy says she's keeping me alone because she wants to have us develope a wonderful bond. She also wants me to "free roam" but I can't yet because I'm too small. She says when I'm bigger I can "free roam". Is that a good thing? My house is on mommy's desk next to the thing I'm typing at. Well that's all I guess. Here's some photos of me. Enjoy! This is the first photo mommy took of me. This is me in my temporary home. Mommy still needed to get me a nice house. This photo freaks mom out. She says that I look exactly like Aunt Hamlet. Do I? Won't you join me in my humble abode? ( Read more... ) Current mood:  accomplished.
Ok I wasn't good about January's ROTD. So I'll do it for February :-D On the 7th, Hamlet will be the ROTD. So be prepared for a major bio on her <3 Hi! This is Starbucks *blush*. This week has been interesting. Ok first off the whole damn month (December included) has been odd. Mom moved us out! We are in a new room in the "garage". It's a nice room. Has a heater and an ac. THere's two windows and all that stuff. I'm in a small cage with Isis and my two daughters. Anyway, so yesterday was weird. Mom had two of her human friends over. Both friends brought rats. Not lady rats either. Big fat males! Well I am pregnant so I have no need for fatass men! One male in particular bothered me no end. His name is Skit I belive. It should be Skat! Lke skat rat! He was a bastard. I was in my cage with my daughters and he has the nerve to come up to my cage >:o Of course I reacted. I screamed and threatened bodily harm to him. The big jerk >:-( I told him who's boss. Then mom put me in another cage with Isis and a large rat named Luke. Mom wanted me to make Luke horny so he would mate with Isis. I'm nobody's pimpette! I beat up Luke. Showed him who's boss. So yeah I'm pregnant. Mom hooked me up with a rat named Algee. Such a lovely male. So sweeet and romantic. He bruxed with me and we shared food. Groomed each other. I'm due in 3 weeks Ciau! Hey it's Dante. Mommy is letting me quickly use the computer as she won't be in her room for the rest of the day. Happy New Years humans, fellow rats, and other animals :-d Woah! What the hell was that? Oh sorry this is Algee. Well I was sitting on mommy's bed minding my own business and it started swaying! I ran to mommy who just looked around calmly. It was an earth shake. Mommy was like "hmm whatever". LOL Well mommy has to clean cages so I'll just say what type of rat I am. I am a blue agouti berkshire topear rex. Cute! My mum is Isis. Ok gotta run! Current mood: freaked out. Hello. My name is Aphrodite. I had my first journal entry 2 months or so ago. Remember? Well here I am. All growed up. Yes I said growed instead of grown. No one's perfect. GET A LIFE! Opps sorry. I got a little carried away ;-) Aunt Isis said this was a horrible month. Well I have to disagree and mom will too. This month has been ok I think. The beginning was horrid as great aunt Hamlet left us. I don't deny that was terrible because it was! Great aunt Hamlet was good to me. She let me use her as a blanket when mom was too lazy to turn on the heating thing. Anyway before I get too ahead of myself let me describe me. I am a beautiful creature with flawless skin. The proper term for my coat and coloration to the humans is "fawn hairless dumbo" That's all fine and good but it is false. It's scandalous lies! I am a gorgous red head. I am not hairless either! I have fine peach fuzz all over my body. I am just the perfect creature and don't you dare think otherwise! Well of course I'm gorgous. I am come from great blood. My mother, Starbucks, is a striking rat. She is a red head but she has regular fur. Her "fawn" coloration is very striking and I am jelous that you can't see my beautiful colors because I don't have much fur as mum. So anyway mommy is thinking of breeding me. I don't think so! Having 12+ babies would flaw my perfect figure. Of course I have a month to disuade mommy. You see I am only 3 months old. To be "bred" well with little risk to me or my youngins I have to be 4 months old. I am not prepared for babies. Mommy really likes me and I can't say I blame the silly human! Because I am not totally hairless I am nice to the touch. Mommy has a true hairless rat. Also called a sphynx. This rat, Daria, loathes it when mom needs to handle her. Her skin is sensitive. So is mine but I don't bitch about it. I have enough fur so mommy's hand doesn't make my skin crawl. I am also very outgoing and friendly. I play with mommy. She'll tackle me with her hand and I'll run away in mock terror. Then just when mommy calms her hand down I punce! I power groom mommy and bound away a happy rat. I love my mommy. Oh did I even tell you my name? I don't remember. My name is Aphrodite. Mommy says my name comes from anchient "Greece"> Why would she name me something gross male rats produce? Or human male hair? I don't understand that. Mommy says Aphrodite is my proper name. It's the name that goes in my discription for the "breeding" files. But mommy doesn't call me Aphrodite. She doesn't call me Afro so don't even go there! She calls me Fuzz because of my beautiful peach fuzz fur. It's faster to say and at least it doesn't make people think I'm named after something gross! Oh before I forget I guess I should mention Artemis. She's my sister. She's big and fat. While I have mum's figure Artemis has dad's. I'm the picture of feminity. I have a lovely figure that I get from mum. Artemis is squishy and large. Mom loves this though I don't know why. I am also like mum in attitude. I am frisky and playful. I love to groom mommy. Artemis is lazier like dear old dad. She just lies on my mom's chest eye boggling. Proper lady rats do not act like lazy men! Gah! Well I guess that's enough. Mommy took a photo shoot of us over the last few days and she just got around to uploading the photos. So without further ado here's us! Here's mum. This was taken the first week of December. Mommy needed to think of more plesent things or she'd go insane. As you can see mum got into great aunt Hamlet's food. This is Aunt Isis. I consider her a handsome lady rat. Not cute or pretty but handsome. She likes to pose for mom's third eye It is I. Bow before my beautifulness This is my sister. Such a kid. She likes mommy's My Little Ponies. *tsk* Mom made me pose on the pony too :-\ No I am not straddling the pony! I can't stand it *GASP* Mommy said she wouldn't upload this photo! Don't look! The scale is lying. GO AWAY My silly sister How unlady like! When I get that unsightly red stuff I will wipe it off before I get my picture taken. That's better. She actually looks pretty here :-\ Mommy really likes this one. Reminds her of that painting with the human and the human god's fingers. That's me by the way. I had just got my nails done. Pretty huh? Ugh this is a bad photo. Makes me look fat! Aunt Isis in the foreground. Mwa in the backround. Those two in the cage are horny men Aunt Isis sees the light Mum showing off her lady like body. That's me in the backround This is a good photo of yours truely. I just had my nails done so I couldn't use my hands. Shows off my lovely body though I'm fat. Go away! Don't look at me like this! Don;t I have the most perfect body? Mum pretending to be a prarie dog See? My absolute beauty overshadows Artemis's bland looks Mum was in heat last night and mommy was being rude about it. Poor mum. Ugh I look so old! Look at those crows feet. Scandelous! I guess this photo is better [Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<img [...] <img>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Hi it's Isis. You know me by now so I won't bother to remind you. Our fearless leader is gone :*-( I'm of course referring to Hamlet. She was two years old when she left this world. Here's the story::: December 1, 2003 Hamlet had a minor stroke. Mommy had kept her in a small carrier cage since her abcess was drained. That way it would be eaiser to take care of and bedding inriched with our wee wouldn't make it infected. So anyway mommy found Hamlet all lethargic and crap. It was so sad. Hamlet loved chocolate chips and couldn't hold onto it. December 2, 2003 Hamlet seemed to be better. She raomed the house but got stuck between two matresses and mommy found her hours later. Mommy told grandma Hamlet couldn't roam the house anymore because of the danger. In the late afternoon Hamlet got more lethargic. Mommy said she had a more massive stroke. Mommy stayed up all night with her and made grandma's old purse into a warm bed for Hamlet. Hamlet was in the bed with towels. Mom would doze off but her "motherly instincts" were kicked in. Whenever Hamlet seemed to struggle mom would come out of the doze and help her. December 3, 2003 By the very early hours Hamlet was having major breathing problems. That's when mommy's instincts kicked into gear and she would wake up from her half sleep whenever Hamlet's breathing became labored. It was horrible. You could hear it clear across the room. It sounded like there was liquid in her lungs. At around 7am mommy left the room with Hamlet. Mommy was totally awake at 5 but waited the two extra hours. Mommy was so sad. You can feel the vibes coming off her in waves. Mommy went to lay in grandma's bed with Hamlet. Mommy had grandma call the cremation place to make arrangements. Mommy had given up hope and was most likely gonna take Hamlet in to see if there was any hope at all. Our doctor wasn't in. Mommy called the vet thinking maybe the dog and cat doctor would at least give her suggestions. The doctor said "I don't treat rats. Do not bring her in" Grandma called the cats and dog doctor and asked what to do. He was nicer as he knew mommy forever. Told her that there really isn't anything mommy could do. So grandma called the cremation place and got an estimate for an animal Hamlet's size. At 9:30am Hamlet started twiching. Mommy went insane. She started wailing. Mommmy was in grandma's bed still. Mommy held Hamlet close and started crying. She knew it was time. She held Hamlet's mouth shut so she couldn't bite her tongue. Pointless but mommy didn't care. Hamlet twiched and peed alot or pee. Mommy said that right before she started twiching, Hamlet's eyes cleared. Now ever since the strokes her eyes have been dull. So they cleared and Hamlet licked mommy's tear streaked cheek and nose area. Then Hamlet bruxed a big brux. Then she started spasming. Mommy thought it was cardiac arrest but it wasn't. Cardiac arrest is when the heart shuts down. Her heart didn't shut down. Her lungs did so she has congested heart failure. About 30 seconds later Hamlet's heart stopped. Basically she drowned in the fluids from the lungs. Mommy held Hamlet's body for hours. The cremation man came at 12:30 and mommy had been holding her since 5am when she took her out of the warm purse bed. Hamlet was already stiff and just getting cold when mommy put her in a box. Mommy put chocolate chips in the box too. Before she did that however mommy had all of us say goodbye. Even the males. We were so sad. Poor Hamlet. She was such a wonderful friend even if she preferred the company of humans over us rats. Dante (big black male) was very sad. He got sullen and started to lick Hamlet's nose. Hamlet took Dante as a friend after her very best friend Templeton died. I am just very sad. Before I forget mommy weighed Hamlet the night before she died and right after death. She weighed 600grams before death and 596grams after death. Maybe a half gram was the pee she got rid of but the rest was her soul. I would like to thank all the humans that helped mommy with this. It has been so tough on her. Hamlet was and still is her best friend and she isn't here anymore to help mom cope with any human problems she had. Grandma payed for the cremation. $120. I pretty little urn, private cremation, a certificate, and some other things. They picked her up and dropped her off. Hamlet died on a Wesdnday (December 3, 2003) and got her back December 10 (the next Wesdnday). She is in mommy's drawer because she doesn't want us rats to ruin the urn. Rest in Peace Hamlet. We will always miss you December 1, 2001----December 3, 2003 NOTE::Mommy made her birthday December 1. She didn't know the exact date of Hamlet's birth but she thinks it's in December so.... This was taken Sunday night (November 31) This is the last photo of her in good health. She didn't yet have the stroke If you would like to see the very last photos of Hamlet click here. If not then don't bother as the photos are sad. Mommy wants me to post them though for anyone that would like to see Hamlet's last photo <3 ( Read more... ) Goodbye Hamlet. We will always miss your fearless ways Current mood:  sad.
Hamlet is missing. She has been missing for at least 22 hours. The last time I saw her she was in her cage. I don' know where she is! ;-( If she's out and about she always comes out even just to tell me where she is. I don't know what to do. I checked under my bed She isn't there! *sob* I can't help but think she is dead somewhere. I'm gonna continue looking for her. Please put your thoughts into me finding her alive. :-( Current mood: crushed.
Hewoo! My name is Aphrodite. I am just a little under 5 weeks old :-D My mommy's name is Starbucks. My human mommy likes to drink the stuff and named mommy that. Silly human. My daddy is named Tarzan. I am a fawn hairless dumbo. I'm not hairless! I'm nakid! WEEEEE I am the best rat in the litter I am the cutest and most charming. I can charm the socks off you. That is if you are wearing socks. I can't show you photos cause mommy is too tired to go into the photo account but I'll just tell stories Mommy has a new "journal". This journal is ours.

Well you can read her journal witherwings7 Feel free to contact mommy.Oh for anyone in mommy's area, there are still some of us needing a nice home! Mommy is located in Los Angeles CA.
