I'm interested in getting to know everyone's rats a little better. So here's an idea. Post a picture of your rat, and a little blurb describing them as an individual. Comparisons to celebrities are a plus, as are life philosophies in quotations.
I'll go first!
A Who's Who of the Alabama Ghost Boys Horde
Jeffrey
Intrepid Explorer, he leaves no crevice unsniffed, and no door untested. Possessed of rugged good looks with a practical and manly personality. He looks more and more like Indiana Jones every day...albeit more 'Crystal Skull' than 'Raiders of the Lost Ark''. This rat knows how to size up a situation and manipulate it to his advantage. Known to fake friendship if it gains him a boost up the ladder of success. Sometimes literally. Favorite quote: "Shoulders are functional, not friends."
Tucker
Reserved and Low Key, yet with a certain magnetism. He has developed into the Marlon Brando of rats. When he ambles through, smoking his cuban and settling himself at the banquet bowl, all rats take notice. He loves nothing better than overseeing all, be it from his human's shoulder, or the highest point of his porcelain throne. Favorite Quote: "A leader leads by example whether he intends to or not, usually from the comfiest hammock."
Zmei
Plush and Pleasing, this rat is a charmer. Rather cool and indifferent to his fur peeps, he relishes spending time with people instead. If a visitor walks by his cage, he is plastered to the door begging for love. If the cage is open, he's popcorning for attention, or reaching for a sleeve to climb. He is also quite aware that he is dead sexy cute. He has been described as arm candy. He's lovable, and a bit bumbling, rather like a Matthew Perry character. Favorite Quote: "All I need is love, sweet love. Love is all I need."
Black Pete
Every Rat's Friend. He is sleek and sexy; active and gregarious. He is the one rat who has never had to fight for his rank. Every rat loves him. He can be found snuggling with a different best friend each day. He /is/ Ferris Beuler. Favorite Quote: "Hey Brah. Outstaaaaaanding."
Skinner
Fearless and Cheeky. This young ratty is bold and shameless in claiming or defending what he owns or wants. He loves the people because people are where the action is. If he were a celebrity, he'd be Michael Palin as Cardinal Ximinez. "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" And yet his favorite quote would be: "Mine is not to ask why, is mine is because I say is mine."
Melon
Shy and Bossy. This little guy has a lot of growing up to do. He can't decide if he's leader or follower. I suspect he's going to be lording it over Skinner and everyone else when he gets a little bolder. In the meantime, he gets by on sweet smiles, dramatic bids for attention, and his tendency to love snuggling inside sleeves. He's also a slobby little rat enjoys comfort over hygiene. Rather like Elizabeth Taylor. He even comes with his own designer perfume. He believes filth is your friend. Favorite Quote: "When the zombie apocalypse comes, I may have to trip you."
Gone but not forgotten:
Windham (d. Oct. 2010)
Shy little Glutton. Windham loved rats and his hammock. He preferred them over people, and would always have to be coaxed to come join any kind of fun. Once out, he was amiable enough, but he never really overcame his sweet shyness. He was also an eater. He luuved his food and lounging. He was a wittle wat trapped in a big rat body. He was Chuckie from Rugrats. Favorite Quote: "There's nothing to fear but monsters."
