Home is where you hang your string.
By popular demand: Ratty, Rattikins, Rattley, Ratify, Rattipuss, Kitty-O, Pusspuss.
And now, I give you the great and dignified Sir Rattus Catus.
-
- Is there any string under here?
-
- Ah, here’s the string. So tasty.
-
- Home is where you hang your string.
-
- Must reach chewy wires.
-
- Jeez, Mom. That’s not the right kinda string.
-
- Some things are slower with three legs…
-
- …like picking myself up.
-
- Any string in here?
-
- My human installed a CDA-compliant ramp, but my food cans are still so inaccessible!
-
- Hello, string. Have I met you before?
-
- You are mine.
-
- And now you’re dead. Oh well.
-
- You can make me pose on a pillow, but you can’t make me like it.
-
- Scat, paparazzi. I need private time.
-
- Now for my next trick. I will survive 8 hours deep under the bedcovers.

I love Ratty! Thanks for posting the photos with the wonderful captions.
I love Ratty’s not so hidden thoughts! LOVE A-LU
He is adorable! I didn’t realize that he was physically challenged – I am so pleased and proud that you are giving him a home and family. Do you know when he was born? I suspect that he will become exceptionally smart as he figures out the ways of the world.
My love to you both.
He’s quite smart already. When we’re having our daily romp with string, I always try and fake him out, but he never falls for it.
My SPCA papers list his birthdate as sometime in December of 2007. He was hit by a car and had his right rear leg amputated last August.
Maybe he and trufa are twins. I figure he was a xmas baby because he was also born in Dec.
Annalee, I thought there was some connection there! He seems spiritual kin to Trufa, at any rate. I wonder how they’ll take to meeting in the flesh.
