I have been feeling gray and tired lately (probably because of the gray weather and the lack of sleep, amazingly), so here are some ratty things that have cheered me up!

My First YouTube! Or: Ed-rat cannot get enough food. My favorite parts are when he has one food block in his mouth and somehow thinks he can fit another one in, despite the fact that some are almost as big as his head! The huffy noises in the video are me trying not to laugh.

I feel I named them appropriately, as Ed-rat is frenetic and crazy and smaller, and then Al-rat will pop his head out, see what Ed is doing, take a lab block, and then go back to sleep and ignore his weird brother.

People who frequent Cute Overload have probably seen a lot of these already...

Ok, they are not rats, but so funny!

And what I would like to do, but don't really have the patience to do:

Ed-rat's hoarding of food is really the funniest thing ever.

[oyceter]

He seriously acts like he is starving! And he is so not!

[la-vie-noire.livejournal.com]

So that's why they are so fat.

And damn, why does he have such a hurry? XDDDDDDDDD

[oyceter]

I knoooow! And yet, they keep acting like I am cruel and starving them!

Ahaha! That's so cute. It's really hilarious when he's got one in his mouth and tries to go in for another. I like how he amasses a little pile and then tries to put it away under the plastic bit toward the back of the cage. Socute. ♥

Also, that video with the rats loving on the cat is adorable! I wonder if they think the cat is their mommy, somewhere in their little ratty brains? At certain points it sort of looks like their trying to nurse! The cat bears it all so patiently, awww.

OH GOD THE KITTIES ON THE ROOMBA! *pees with laughter* I love it when the one gets shoved backwards by the vacuum. Bwahaha.

[oyceter]

I love how you can see how torn he is between hoarding it under the plastic thing for safety vs. getting more! faster!

The kitties! I nearly died laughing, especially as they keep rolling off!

Oh man, if only my boyfriend wasn't pathologically afraid of rats, I would love to have a couple again.

And the Roomba!kittens are officially the Cutest Things Ever.

[oyceter]

The Roomba! It cheers me up every time!

Lol, it looks like he just ate half his bodyweight in two minutes :D

[oyceter]

I KNOW! He is just hoarding them, but still! You would think they see food once a decade or something.

My goodness, Ed's really worried about the impending apocalypse, isn't he? I expect to see him building a fallout shelter in your next video!

[oyceter]

Ren used to do that too, but not to the same extent! I think Ed's the only rat I've had who so far tries to put two food blocks in his mouth at the same time and is quite clearly torn over how to get all the food to safety in the fastest way possible.

Greedy rats are never not funny. This is a scientific fact.

[oyceter]

It is so true!

I love the "OH NOES!" expression

[bellatrys.livejournal.com]

when he drops one of them outside the cage and deliberates going down for it ... but that would mean going *away* from all those *other* pieces of rat chow that he hasn't snarbled up yet!

Re: I love the "OH NOES!" expression

[oyceter]

He gets so confused! And you can see his ratty brain going "what to do? what to do?"

"Gotta eat 'em all!"

[pinkdormouse.livejournal.com]

Busy ratties!

And kittens!

Thanks for those.

[oyceter]

No problem! Hope they cheered you up like they did for me.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

I like your rattie best!

[oyceter]

Awwww, thank you!
