I remember buying a cheese steak and eating it while driving back to wherever I was coming from. I was making a left hand turn and as I rounded the intersection my little monster snatched that shit right out my right hand. Went to the back and proceeded to devour it as I helplessly watched incoherently cursing in the rearview. Little fucker didn't even share it with his mother either. Boy I miss my little ones!

i had rats once. If you DARED eat something they wanted without giving them any, you can get they would try and snatch that shit outta ya hand. Hell, even if you gave them some, they'd still want the rest of it.

I had rats too. Catseye and Pury. Very kind little Beastie's. They loved my waterbed. My cat didn't seem to mind them and kind of knew they were part of the family. Pretty strange behavior for a cat IMO.

Ratties are great. I vowed to not get anymore because of their short lifespans. My heart just can’t take it
