Rat
Location: Minneapolis, Kansas, USA
This is a photo of my sweetie-cat Rat. Rat was a failure-to-thrive child that required extra TLC and feeding to grow. She loved to be loved and would snuggle with me for long periods. Unfortunately she died recently, but I have many other “kitty brats” to give me love and affection when I am down-in-the-dumps!!
POUNCE
Woo Hoo!!! the competition is getting pretty tough around here these days…
first!
POUNCE!!!!!!
POUNCe
Pounce?
Pounce!! I’m first!! What a little puddy cat!! So Sweet!
What a bunch of pouncers we are. LOL - Good morning everyone - hope everyone has a great Thursday.
Much Love,
HM
Can you imagine what it would be like if we were all together and someone dropped some bacon? Watch out!!!!
LOL….A pork pileup…now that would be a sight.
There was an accident in Michigan yesterday….semi tipped over and dumped 40 tons of meat all over the highway.
It DID look like bacon/pork.
Huddy’s Mama—were you anywhere near Michigan yesterday?
You guys are so funny! (BTW it was indeed pork. They had to throw it away, too bad.)
Third! Gosh you guys are fast! Sweet little kitty though!
Eighth???? Forget it, my system just can’t keep up!
Keep trying..
Oh, that’s a sad story. But a beautiful little kitty.
What a sweet face! Glad you have this lovely photo to remember her by.
We are all too quick! Do you know that I just received an error message that said I was positing comments TOO QUICK? As if!!!
I’m so sorry that you lost this precious baby..she was absolutly beautiful…
It breaks my heart that she is no longer around–it seems the most loving ones are always taken too early. She was beautiful!
You don’t say how long this little kitty lived - I hope she had some good years with you. But whether long or short, she was happy and loved! Thank you for sharing this little beauty with ut.
I feel sad about this kitty……..she looks very sweet. If she were here, I’d give her a big squeeze.
-One cat lover to another
What a beautiful kitty little Rat is and although her life was too short, how wonderful that she was so loved. That is the sweetest little face.
Sweet little Rat… looks like she is chewing on her lower lip LOL
Sometimes these little angels are given to us for just a short time, to teach us some kind of lesson we need to learn. Having her snuggle next to you for long periods of time would be a lesson in unconditional love that I would treasure always. What a sweet little girl.
I echo what Siobhan has said. Cats are definitely angels that come into our lives to help us or teach us something. They go when their work is done and they are needed elsewhere. RIP Rat. What a beautiful kitty you were. Such a sweet face. Hope you are having fun over the Rainbow Bridge now.
My condolences that Rat is no longer with you. But I’m sure she is telling all the other cats beyond the Rainbow Bridge of what a wonderful human she had!
Rat is so adorable! She is watching you from the bridge while she is playing with her friends. It’s sad she was taken too soon, but she was loved and she loved while she was here!
I’m not sure if she’s chewing on her lip or giving an aside, “Psst… Slip some bacon my way, OK?”
So sorry for your loss, she sounds like a lovely snuggle kitty. Let those other “brats” snuggle your dumps away, dear!
What a sweet little face!
Love the name and Rat is a very precious little one ;D
How sweet is this picture?! Rat was a real beauty; thank you for taking care of her so that she knew true love in her short life. So glad you have your brat cats to help you too.
I’m heartbroken, pretty little Rat. It’s so hard to lose these furry angels.
Aw, what beauty eye she has. Sorry about your loss. I am sure
you made her very happy!!
What a beautiful face she has! So sorry that she is no longer with you.
I’m so sorry Rat is no longer with you. What a beautiful baby she was.
She’ll be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.
Amen. These stories always make me tear up.
Adorable. How do you take a picture of your cat with the flash on? My cats often end up with glowing demon eyes.
A sweet contemplating face! I wish I could snuggle her now. :’(
Awwwwwwwww, so sorry about your baby Rat.
She wasn’t even my cat, but I feel so sad for you.
Bless her little heart.
I believe someday, we will be reunited with all our beloved furry pets.
You hang in there…..
P.S. When we lost our kitty, we went out and adoped new furballs, that seemed to help us, but you will know when it is time.
Take Good care now.
Hello Everyone! I’m new!! I’ve been reading this for a long time and love all the comments. This POUNCE stuff just makes me smile. What a great bunch you are. I have 2 little furry gentlemen. Norman Bates and Jacob Marley. They were both rescued from going to the great sardine in the sky. I just love my boys. Thank you for all the joy you’ve brought.

Welcome! Join us on TDK chat!
Nice to meet you CatsPawMa..love your babies names, and would love to chat with you more..come on over to the TDK cafe..
Named my one boy Jacob Marley because he’s just an old man since we got him and Norman Bates is just an orange spawn of satan and I love him. He’s just trouble. The boys came at a time when we had lost Karma Jade (gray with big green eyes) and Rover both stray wild kittens. A neighbor boy killed both of them and a part of us. Thought we’d never get another. So glad we did.
What a little sweetheart.
so sorry to hear little Rat didn’t make it. she sure had pretty nice and neato little stripes! Even when they are with us for only a short time, kitties give us so much more than we can ever repay.
Rat was an extremely beautiful kitten. I’m sorry you’ve lost her but know the company in which she now frequents at Rainbow Bridge is of the utmost amazing kitties. Thank you for sharing your little dear.
Awww, beautiful little Rat-kin! My heart aches for her sad story. At least she had snuggles when she needed them.
Bless you.
Ironic name FUZZ
Rainbow Bridge FUZZ :/
the failure-to-thrive ones soemtimes make even better loves! im very big on making sure no cat gets thrown away just ecause they need extra care. and this look more like brown sugar and sweet cinnamon!
Such a beautiful, wistful face - sorry to learn Rat is no longer with you, but thank you for sharing her picture with us.
What a precious face she had. Sorry that she is no longer with you.
I had a cat named “Mouse”. Where do we come up with these names?
A beautiful Angel face So sorry. Lil
She was so pretty!
Our kitty was the runt of her litter and also needed extra TLC and feeding after her mum stopped feeding her. She’s now over 23 years old and has probably outlived all her siblings that mum did take care of!
Rat is a gorgeous kitty! so sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear about Rat’s passing, but you loved her every day of her live and that’s all any cat wants.
:***
Those soulful eyes … I am so sorry to hear about your lost. Rat’s and many other unfortunate passing always remind me to cherish my kitten more and more each day.
Awww she was an adorable little cat! I am so sorry about your loss.
RIP Rat, what a beautiful gift!!
Sweet looking kitten. So sad she passed too soon.
