The Rattic

Willow got a nasty brain thingy too and she went all wobbly and had to go to the v-e-t and go away, like Tosh. :((( It is not fair, everyone is going away and I don't like it! Mummy is sad and Kitty is sad and I am sad and maybe Adric too even (mainly he is just cross right now).

I will miss Willow. I liked having nest-building-wars with her. ♥ I hope it is nice where she and Tosh are now. Willow can hoard food there as much as she wants, and then there'll be plenty for me to eat when I go to join them (but not yet, I like it here with mummy)! :D

Mummy took me to the v-e-t with Willow to show me off to the scary person who made my lump go away the first time. I have a fan club! Because I am awesome! So I ate Willow's cucumber and then ate cardboard to make it known how absolutely STARVING I was because mummy never feeds me see!!! and made a puddle on the big scary table. But at least I was there to give mummy a hug when she was sad. I'm a good cuddly girl I am.

Yesterday was my half-birthday! I am two and a half! Mummy says this makes me the oldest rat she has ever had. Yay! I are a winner! I got biscuit and EMP which was supposed to be for Tosh, nom nom nom.

Mummy has moved me and Tosh into the funny low cage that Ginny went in when she was poorly, because we can't get around much now and Adric is being a pest. Tosh is even more wobbly than me. Mummy says she has a brain tumour, which is bad and we are very upset because we love Tosh. D:

But anyway I guess this cage is ok even though I miss the big one. I have my favourite old igloo and my purple bell thing and my friend Tosh to snuggle with and, most importantly, a nice big bowl of food! Yay!

Also, my friend malfoy sent us some very special presents, and mummy took lots of videos of us all having fun with them and put the best bits together for you to see! I was more interested in food, because FOOD IS MOAR BETTAR, but there is an extra special bit at the end...


(Mummy says: The babies had half a green thing each too, which they seemed to enjoy (they are right little piglets, these two!), though I didn't manage to film it. There should be a bit of everyone else ion the video, though. Plus I have a ton of outtakes of Piper being unccooperative which upload as well if you want. ;) I am just so, so happy that I got the finger-grab on video, omg! ♥ Oh, and although she was rather uninterested in the ball here I did find it in the nest with her and Tosh this morning, so one of them seems to like it, at least. :D)

Adric keeps stealing my food.

JUST BECAUSE I AM AN OLD LADY NOW IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE.

WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. D:

At least Piper can still put him back in his place by sitting on him. I guess she is useful sometimes after all... I do wish she wouldn't ruin my nice nests though. Hmph.

Yesterday was my sisters' and my birthday! We are TWO, can you believe it? Someone needs to explain to Kitty that this means she is an old lady now. She doesn't get it. Silly girl.

ANYWAY, we got a muffin with candles and ferretvite. :D

( No videos this time, but epic photospam! )

My sister is very ill suddenly! D: The hot weather made her funny breathing get worse and now she has newmonia, which is Very Bad I think!

I could tell she was sick before mummy even noticed 'cos she was not herself at all. I have been snuggling up with her to look after her, which is what made mummy notice there was something wrong (Kitty doesn't usually cuddle with me). Only now I can't look after her any more 'cos mummy took her out to go to the Scary Place where they stick pointy things in you, and now she is in the little cage all by herself.

(This might be because Adric was humping her and Tosh was bouncing on her head. But we only want to look after her!)

Mummy says if she doesn't get better by tomorrow she might not get better at all. :(((((( Please send good luck for Kitty. I love my sister very, very much - we all do - and I want to make her better.

Last night I was hoarding food in the igloo like always and Piper came and took my peanut BEFORE I HAD FINISHED! I got very cross and huffed at her. (I didn't hurt her but she screamed a lot. Maybe she was scared that I was going to bite her ears like Gabby used to. I am not that nasty!)

Anyway, that reminded me of something. I am usually a very nice and calm rat and I get on with everybody and I look after them all. But there is one thing that makes me ANGRY. I don't like it when they interfere with my food stash or my nest building!

Sometimes we get spaghetti, which is good. It is long and slimey and stretchy and nice to sleep on. One time I spent hours making a nice nest out of the spaghetti in the igloo so everyone could snuggle up in it and enjoy the cold stickiness. It was a very beautiful nest.

AND THEN THEY ATE IT!!!

They ate my beautiful spaghetti nest that I built for them! How dare they?!

I was heartbroken and wouldn't talk to them and went in the hammock and sulked by myself for two days. And mummy laughed at me. IT IS NOT FAIR. DOES NO-ONE SEE THE INJUSTICE???
