He lived with us almost all his life (we adopted him from an "accidental litter" together with his brother who passed away last summer) and has been a good comrade to all other rats he has hung out with, outliving many of them.

Sounds so cool man. I'm really sorry.

He looks like a great ratto, and hopefully he and his brother are having fun somewhere. Rest in peace <3

I'm sorry pal. Losing any pet hurts. Sending love your way.

Three years is a good age for a rat, I’m sure he felt very loved

That's like rat methusala. Here's to a real one. They lived long in a profession where most rats die young rat-salute-2

i love the little hammock. my rat, Stretch, only made it a year (he got a tumor and had to put him down). never got another after that.

they are so smart one day we'll life extend them and they'll just inherit our civilization

Made me think of Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. It's a cute children's book by Pratchett where intelligent rats (accidentally enhanced by magic trash at the Unseen University) run "pied piper" scams on unsuspecting villages. I've loved this book for close to two decades now.

rats are really underrated animals

Congratulations to Cookie on living a full happy lil rat life. Such a tragedy that they're so short-lived.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Oh you sweet, poor thing, I've lost so many myself, and it always hurts so much. Rats don't live nearly long enough for all the love and affection they give. My heart aches for you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

rest in power, comrade rodent

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Farewell, little comrade! I hope you enjoyed your (all too short) life!

I also have an old rat. They are cool little dudes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I imagine he had a good life with you. Rest in peace, Cookie. I'm sure you made the world a little bit better.
