Try telling that to my Kayden. I didn't get the phone fast enough but before this picture he was giving my little Vinci a tongue bath.

Sorry about quality. Camera phone.

Aww little Vinci is adorable! Black ratties are my favorite, especially the top ears. I have 9 little ratties, they have the most wonderful personalities don't they? My kitten Ruin wants nothing more than to get to mine, but my other cat Princess just lounges in the rat room watching them for hours. lol

Hehe Vinci didn't seem to mind. He's pretty aggressive when he wants to be so if Kayden was upsetting him, I would've seen Kayden running around in pain from a rat bite immediately.

Dahmer ignores them, Kayden is the curious one and Sassy runs from them. She stood on their cage one time and got attacked (they don't bite hard through the cage just a nip) so she fears them evil rats lol.

I love ratties. I have 3 atm. I lost 2 back in January thanks to horrid URIs. It's my first time with boys and let me tell ya, I love them to bits but I'll never get boys again after these 3.

How cute!!!! Enzo adores Kitty too!!!! Cats really are great with all sorts of animals! I've always wondered if they realize what are YOUR "toys" and what are kitty toys. My granny's farm cats are the same way. They will kill wild animals, but leave the chicks (who run loose) and baby bunnies alone.


Hope you don't mind, but here's my addition to your thread!

I much prefer the girls also, so much easier not having to deal with fighting and I love how the girls just go, go , go all the time. Oddly enough I have 6 boys currently, 5 of which are rescues that I just couldn't leave. I'm so sorry that you lost two of your babies, URIs are horrid and so hard to get under control.
Aww EnzoLeya your little rattie is adorable too! Such a cutie!

I love ratties too... I had two females and I am going to adopt another pair in the future.
One of my girls had a nasty URI that turned into pneumonia which lasted 6 months or more despite all kinds of treatments and medications...

My cat just ignored the rats, she was not interested but my Golden Retriever just loved them (as she does all small critters...)

No no, I don't mind! In fact everyone should post their rattie/kitty relationship pictures hehe.

How did you manage to get them both looking at the camera at the same time? So adorable.
