Rats are ideal pets for children.
They love being handled and it is easy for children to care for them and to keep them clean.

Here I must add that I recommend keeping female rats for pets, a male rat is smelly and he spends his time marking everywhere he goes to make sure that any female who might pass will smell him.

Pardon this remark all male rats, but that is a fact.
Life will be somewhat different for the rat, depending whether a girl or a boy adopted her.

We would like to thank you...

This is life !? It is heaven.

The magic of a sunbeam.

It can melt kittens. They will flop down while playing inside or outside. These are American Curl kittens but the reaction is the same for all -  from feral to pedigree kittens.
Even a brick turns into a comfortable pillow.

Take a look at the one at the bottom of the pile, where I market zzzz

Career cat - key cutter and shoe repair. 

By removing all kinds of vermin the cats have been working for man since they joined our society some 4000 +years ago. The cats performed their duties from farms to the post office wherever they were needed.
Now in modern times cats has many other duties as well.
Mostly as a companion and relieving stress in our lives, but there are other career cats too. They may hunt to feed
themselves but most of the time their services pay for their food. There is such a career cat in Malmesbury, RSA. Working in the shop every day without fail.

The owner Trevor busy cutting keys and repairing shoes while you wait.

Always friendly, she is respected as one of the personnel.

Meet the very special career cat. Her formal name is O.P.
She will be on the counter ready to welcome clients, every day.
She can come and go as she please, but she is at her post on the counter. 
This small neat workshop is situated down in the basement at the car park of the shopping centre in Malmesbury.

Thank you.. It was a pleasure.
