Owning rats must be tough. They seem similar to cats and dogs in terms of how domestic they are but only have a fraction of the lifespan. Or a similar lifespan to some disgustingly inbred breeds of large dogs and neglected cats.
My boyfriend got one from his coworker and at first I was disgusted he brought a rodent into his home, then some time passed and before I knew it it was a year later and I was grown man crying when we woke up to find him deceased.
They're like tiny little dogs, I shit you not. We taught him how to play fetch. He had a distinct personality. It's nothing like a mouse or a hamster as I'd previously thought. But year, they live 1-3 years tops. It's depressing as hell.
True story, he learned how to undo the locks on his cage and while I was at work, he would get out and climb to the top in order to pilfer the yogurt treat bag.
When I had a hamster I tried one of those yogurt treats, not proud of it. But they were pretty good. If I was a hamster or rat you'd bet I'd figure out a way to get those fucking things.
I came here with a simple dream...a dream of killing all humans. And this is how it must end? Who's the real seven billion ton robot monster here? Not I... Not I...
The screeching sounds they make are horrible though, and they're not quite as domesticated as regular pets (or as clever as rats). They live longer than rats though.
That and he destroyed my pillow cases and bedding, the little fuck was something else. Awesome to hang out with drunk though and feed pieces of meat to.
He lived to be about 2 years old. Though his personality will last a lifetime. I’ve never met something that’s as selfish as he was and also loved me at the same time. They really are the best pets.
what about the feminine looking legs and ability for the legs to be squashed together so tightly? like complete absence of any dick or balls to be concered about?
I'm pretty sure rats like open dumpsters and basements apartments a lot more than open fields and grain, but what do I know, I'm just a guy who's never seen a rat in an open field eating grain.
Have you ever thought of making them a rat piss and shit box. If they had a place to piss and shit you wouldn't have piss and shit all over your kitchen. Rants don't use the internets, they have no way of telling you don't want them pissing and shitting all over your kitchen.
💩 Shit or piss🍺 I guess they never 🌀flush, huh? 🚽 You got a⛲ bathroom 🚹attendant🚺, I bet he doesn't offer ya 🍬🍬🍬 breath mints 🍻 mwah 🍻He gon' find another 😬 stall ♿🚪and he won't spritz 💦💦 ya 🙊 He gon' shart 😣💨💨and hit the🌋 john 🚽 like Wiz Khalifa 📣📣
Anyone that has a pet instead of a significant other is a joke in my mind. Not even joking here, I'm seeing this phenomenon more and more lately. Try not to spill your soy juice everywhere please
Rats are great. If you want a longer living rat, and you live in the UK, think about getting a Gambian Pouched Rat. They live for about 7 years. The only downside to rats are their unfortunate life span, they're honestly the best pets.

His name was bender because he had the personality of a bastard, drunk robot.

1 DrZerglingMD 2018-12-19
Did he have his own separate cage with blackjack and mouse hookers?
1 Scarytownterminator 2018-12-19
He definitely had his own toys that he pissed on and a bag full of yogurt treats. I guess that’s sort of the same thing?
1 Shootzilla 2018-12-19
Rodents fucking love yogurt treats. That's better than blackjack and hookers.

One of my favorite lines from the entire series is the were-car episode where from accuses Bender of seeing things.....
