2 years agoThat photo is so adorable.
We had 10 over the course of about 5 years, but yeah it got sad saying goodbye all the time. Rats are hugely underrated as housepets. They are super sociable, and smart. When I see snaps like yours I miss having them, but when I read posts like yours I remember why I don’t.
It was a while ago now and I’m rubbish with photos anyway, so not sure I can pay the pet tax. If I find anything I’ll come back and edit.
That’s a great piece. Thanks for sharing.
The fact that most of our signals for extra-terrestrial life are based on life on earth has always made me concerned we’d miss something. This has made me reconsider a little. We would miss life unlike earth’s with our approach, but without an analogy like this to draw on, how could we know?
