Have you checked your pockets lately?

Um, 'cause you JUST MIGHT have a super prosh pocket pet in thar. Have you looked lately!? I think you should. Some rattles might've crawled in. And they MIGHT be munching on a morsel of something...with both hands.

Please, may I find one of those in my pocket? Please?

llamas
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:00 PM

um... can someone please explain the use of "ponies" and "11", "eleven" or even "111" as a sign of extreme squeedom? i guess i'm new...

Are you sure these are the same guy. The one on top seems to have perfectly manicured fingers while the one on the bottom in the pink seems to have some SERIOUS tangles in his whiskers. Which twetally doesn't detract from his muzzlepuff but all the same.

Same ratty?! Or different rattys?!?! That is the question.

Susie
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:04 PM

omg are you kidding? I tooootally want that in my pocket

anon
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:05 PM

oh, and intense squee-diddles to the homie rattles with the wee gnome-hands...

iphi
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:05 PM

Susie -- that might just be the rodent equivalent of Bed Head.

Theo
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:07 PM

definitly three rats - one white muzzle puff, two not, and one wrangle-whisker.
three different pockets too.

so says i phi

If you put a bunch of exclamation marks in a row sometimes you'll accidentally put the number 1 in between your marks. Thus the 1s, the eleven is just leet speak takin it to a whole new ridiculous level. It's supposed to be funny. I'm fairly sure that ponies is an alteration of pwned. Which is more leet speak stuff. See it started off owned, but the p and the o are so close to each other on the keyboard that it turned into powned.

Susie
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:08 PM

Theo in that case let's get that last guy a hairbrush!

Susie
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:09 PM

That is one serious manicure on dat li'l guy! All he needs is the red polish, the up-do, the heels and the fancy dress and he'll be ready for the prom! Rodents usually don't do it for me, but hafta say, this guy rocks!

Susie
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:13 PM

Uh, I know that cutie is in the eye of the beholder, but if I found a rat in *my* pocket, I would flip my sh!t, and not in a good way.

teratomarty

Love the subtle smoky color.

Suda Nim

rex rats have funky whiskers...

onionpencil musashi
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:27 PM

Rats don't exactly purr, but they do brux - they grind their teeth together when they're content, and occasionally when they're stressed. It does sound a bit like purring.

The little fellow in the bottom picture obviosuly has a bit of rex blood in him, which is what makes his whiskers curly.

Imbrium
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:29 PM

OMGz no way. Those are curls!?!? How freakin' adorable! Now I want one.

Susie
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:31 PM

awwwww.....this makes me miss my ratties....too bad thay don't live longer than they do!

lazyj
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:36 PM

And when super relaxed and happy, they both brux and boggle--which is partially popping their eyeballs and and out of their sockets.

Another Angela
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:37 PM

That first looks like he's just woken up from a nap and is having a nibble. Looks all warm and cozy.

BenPanced
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:37 PM

Oooooh, shiny silver fur! And curly whiskers! I wants it!

Oh wait, I have 5 ratties of my own I can stuff in various pockets. *squee!*

Beth
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:40 PM

i gotta say, popping eyeballs in and out of sockets sounds kinda weird..
dunno if *that* would be qte...
but these guyses sure are!

ceejoe
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:42 PM

OK... I MUST check my pockets before doing laundry now, I won't be able to start the cycle ever again otherwise!

Otter
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:45 PM

OK, I've always thought having a pet rat was kinda icky, but I have to admit this little guy (girl?)is awfully cute. The widdo hands!! And the widdo velvet ears! I wanna feel dose earses in my mouf. Ya' know...the velvety goodness. So sweet!

Btw, um, I looked at the C.O. Glossary and, um, this isn't there so....can someone PLEASE explain to me what PONIES!11! means?? I'm a regular and I don't know! *hanging head in shame*

musicchick2
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:47 PM

Oops... I shoulda read all da posts furst. I gets it. Kinda.. *scratches head*

musicchick2
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:51 PM

Darn, I'm not wearing pockets today! [pouts]
That second picture is just too sweet! Awww...

 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:52 PM

Aww! The rexy one has fuzzy ears! Hee!

Arvay

I think the use of "OMG Ponies!!!" was popularized on April Fools Day, when Slashdot changed their front page to pink and linked to Cute Overload and had various childishly cute phrases. Ponies of course, are an object of desire for 7 year old girls everywhere.

Errata
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:56 PM

What's up with rattie in pic #3's whiskas? I've never seen curly whiskas or furry rat ears. It's like this rat comes with built-in earmuffs!

Robbie
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 01:58 PM

I'm jumping too many bridges on this one but, I wonder if any curly-whiskered Rex Rat owners name their ratties, "Shirley Templeton".
Ow, that hurt me.

pyrit
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 02:00 PM

Shirley Templeton! Ha!

Love the teeny paws and teeny claws and dreamy expression!

Kritter

"...Ponies of course, are an object of desire for 7 year old girls everywhere."
Errata, I'm a few times 7, and I STILL want a pony. It's my cats who want a rattie, but they're getting a new sister, or more if my resistance is low. Rescued animals shouldn't have to be re-rescued, but this time it's nobody's fault. I'm off to donate & help these: http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/011707/neR_7283609.shtml

Jessarakitty
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 02:17 PM

Good for you, Jesserakitty! I'm sure the sister or more that your kitties get will have a wonderful home! Yay for you!

useta hada kitteh
 |  Jan 17, 2007 at 02:23 PM

I'd say it's time to put "rurrr" (rat purring) into the CO Glossary.
