I Like it

[Sat in rat voice] MUCH better than 'Caturday'. Cats don't deserve it.

I like the little hairs poking out from the hammock, Laura L.

Is that a Rat, or a panda in disguise? cute either way... (or maybe a tapir!): Micki; | May 24, 2008 at 12:44 PM

He/she's so adorable!! I love ratties! I so miss my lil "Smooshie". She was a chinese hooded rattie (like the one in the pic) and was smart and so trainable....like a puppy. She used to go to high school with me, hidden under my hair...until she got too big. She was a full 2 lbs when she was full grown. She scared the daylights outta my Mum at first. But when I joined the service (U.S.C.G.) Mum took care of Smooshie for me and became so attached that she cried so terribly when Smooshie passed away. *sniff* I miss me rattie. ROCK ON RATURDAY!!! btw-kittehs rank neck and neck wit ratties- I am owned by 3 who rule the house with an iron paw :x: Vickster; | May 24, 2008 at 12:59 PM

I love the "Ratty on Vacation" design!: Theresa; | May 24, 2008 at 01:03 PM

OK, so where is the stitching diagram? My rats are demanding this!: pidge; | May 24, 2008 at 01:19 PM

i'm with you meg - the little hairs sticking out are too funny!: ashagato; | May 24, 2008 at 01:28 PM

Vickster... I am all there with your Mum and give her a Hug from a fellow Mom who thought Rats were disgusting till my daughter got her first Rat She named her Templeton and she was truely one of the most delightful pets we ever had.. I too was heart broken when Templeton Passed on. And she also went everywhere with my daughter. If any one ever asks me I always tell tehm what really good pets rats are. Thansk too for your service in the coast guard.: Annie; | May 24, 2008 at 01:36 PM

I love it! She looks like my Callie who also went everywhere with me ... I'd take a rat over a kitten or puppy any day!: Michelle; | May 24, 2008 at 01:40 PM

I stitched this using a drawing from The Illustrated Rat. The drawings are amazing -- I'm currently stitching a Valentine's Day design from the same site. http://www.illustratedrat.macwebsitebuilder.com/ I didn't feel comfortable publishing a pattern based on someone else's work, so I didn't include one. However, you can do what I did -- download a drawing into a graphics editor, add text, reverse the image, print, trace with a transfer pencil, and iron on to some fabric. And, Chester the Plush Hoodie thanks you :): Laura; | May 24, 2008 at 02:01 PM

Ok, if anyone comes up with a Bunday anything, I WILL BUY IT! Unless it's ugly.: mags; | May 24, 2008 at 02:40 PM

Oh, HOORAY Laura! What a great job you did! We in Connecticut are very proud of our Coasties (my husband went to Connecticut College, across the way and took classes there). My older son almost went to the Academy, but UCONN got him. Thank you very much for your service, Vickster. Stay safe. Of course, that applies to all of us, too.: Katrina; | May 24, 2008 at 03:55 PM

Ohhh, that is just lovely! I am so jealous of you people and your needle skills.: hey-h; | May 24, 2008 at 04:06 PM

Verii qte. But CATZ ROOL. An CATURDAY iz teh best day uv teh wiik.: jmuhj; | May 24, 2008 at 04:10 PM

Laura, this is adorable and I will probably have to dust off my embroidery hoops now. I have five ratties and most of them are indeed spending their Raturday in the hammock, as usual ;) They send boggles to Chester.: Another Angela; | May 24, 2008 at 04:25 PM

Very Qte. Happy Raterday.: snorglepup; | May 24, 2008 at 04:54 PM

That is quite brilliant. But shouldn't Ratty's delicious frosty tropical drink have a teensy umbrella in it?: charliewabba; | May 24, 2008 at 05:22 PM

I envy the little rattie with his hammock and frosty tropical drink. I agree tho-"where's the umbrella?": Martha in Washington; | May 24, 2008 at 05:33 PM

Yay for Chester! I think I'm going to have to make 4 of these, each one personalized with my rats' names! I hope the Raturday design brings much bruxing and boggling to all. :): Emma; | May 24, 2008 at 05:59 PM

I may have to adapt that pattern. Raturday, indeed. Maybe the rat doesn't need a paper umbrella - it may be a gin and tonic, which never has an umbrella: jess, la, ca; | May 24, 2008 at 06:03 PM

Hi Laura Your stitching is wonderful and your rat is adorable.: Annie; | May 24, 2008 at 06:03 PM

Laura, you ROCK! I might even give up ....no, never mind. Raturday is Just Perfect for today!: Yitzysmommie; | May 24, 2008 at 06:08 PM

Must Have Pattern! Must! ehh, ehhh: Laura in Alameda, CA; | May 24, 2008 at 07:13 PM

I'll take Raturday over Caturday any time. So cuuuute!!: Melissa; | May 24, 2008 at 07:31 PM

Yay! Yay for Raturday! I may use that pattern to make something for my 4 ratties. I know they will lovingly pee on it. :) Bruxing and boggling all around for Raturday!: Emma; | May 24, 2008 at 07:36 PM

Yay for Ratties!!!! The best pocket pets EVAR. I miss my squishy boys. :(: binky-mama; | May 24, 2008 at 07:41 PM

He's celebrating "Year of the Rat" (on the Asian calendar)--RATS RULE until February 2009!! Sorry...all the little paper umbrellas were used for the floor show-- Qte dwarf hamsters dancing with fans and umbrellas to entertain His Ratiness. Awesome!!: Totalee Puppy; | May 24, 2008 at 08:38 PM

Seriously...LAURA...Thanks for the wonderful art work and stitching...You are so talented, and this looks like a work of love for ratties everywhere.: Totalee Puppy; | May 24, 2008 at 08:46 PM

What a beautiful rat. Chocolate AND vanilla.: Kimski; | May 24, 2008 at 09:10 PM

I've always heard good things about rats, and even the subway rats in NYC (which aren't that conventionally attractive) always got my attention and sparked my imagination. Kudos to those of you who have 1) served in the coast guard or 2) owned rats or 3) both. And to quote Mayor Quimby, "It can be two days!": berthaservant; | May 24, 2008 at 10:07 PM

Did the rat make this? It's very good. Is the rat's name Laura? I'm confused.: ross1219; | May 25, 2008 at 01:19 AM

Hey, I found out how to do a double post. If the back button doesn't work, you just hit refresh and POOF - double post. Oops.: ross1219; | May 25, 2008 at 01:23 AM

Raturday that's the day for Rats to play.: Hon Glad; | May 25, 2008 at 03:43 AM

I propose we call it "Craturday." Squeeow!: julimi; | May 25, 2008 at 03:46 AM

I love the fur sticking out of the hammock, a true pro touch! Tooooo cute. Great job!: Katrina; | May 25, 2008 at 04:21 AM

I love how the real rat is looking at the embroidery like he's studying a poster in the window of a travel agency. "Yeah... that's where I want to be.": flodnak; | May 25, 2008 at 08:28 AM

That is sooooooooooooo cute! :): Fran; | May 25, 2008 at 09:17 AM

Rat: "Is..that.. for me?" Yes, little Rattie, yes it is. *pet pet*: chanpon; | May 25, 2008 at 09:33 AM

ross1219: Absolutely the rat made it! The rat also took the picture (she knows how to set the timer, obv), and emailed the submission in! They really are a lot more intelligent than people give them credit for. D:: Ermine; | May 25, 2008 at 02:42 PM

I am in love. I miss my rats and this just made my day! AWWWWWW. I can just hear his rat giggle in excitement!: Lynn; | May 25, 2008 at 09:16 PM

Sell these in large quantities! I'm a huge rodent fan (my 4 guinea pigs say 'Hi!'). And I love rats. Such intelligent creatures. <3: Infinity; | May 25, 2008 at 09:34 PM

[whisker twitches in approval]: Subhangi; | May 26, 2008 at 02:05 AM

I love the idea of giggling rats, thank you, Lynn!: Katrina; | May 26, 2008 at 12:18 PM

What's next? BATurday? Holy needlecraft!: gooeyctr; | May 27, 2008 at 03:43 AM
