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.

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

Love his little hammock, rest in peace.

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

First one to greet your rat friend on the other side biggs

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.

What a sweet little guy. Three years is a real blessing. I still miss my two rats. He looks like he had a wonderful life. meow-hug

rats are really underrated animals

[–] booty@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

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

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.

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

rest in power, comrade rodent

[–] nurjahreszeiten@hexbear.net 3 points 3 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.

Better than a gerbil, those shits are meaner than geese

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

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