Um, I heard that your kitties are missing and wanted to tell you that when I was young one of our cats ran away. We thought she was dead. But then, two years later we were selling stuff and one of our neighbor's cats came up to us and meowed. And we were like, 'wow, that sounds like our old cat' and the woman said that she'd found her two years ago. So we looked at her more closely and she had the same markings that our kitty did! So even if you don't find them, they may be just fine!

Aw, thank you so much for the message!We speculated a lot when they went missing and came to a conclusion that it is very likely someone just took them in because the three of them were pretty. All I know is that mother cat came back home, but kitties did not. I will go back in two days to check in, maybe they came back :(

I should also mention it's preferable that you keep any rat cage in a room that that you can close any other animals out of. I'm not sure if it's common, but at least two of my rats learned how to open the cage and it was pretty vital to their safety that I was able to keep the door closed and the dog out while I was away in case they did decide to leave

Apparently I was wrong about the one thing I said. According to many websites, rats repel other rodents. It's their FOOD that attracts them. I probably just had a problem due to my poor habits concerning cleaning. Sorry for misinformation!

I've heard that pet rats tend to drive away wild rodents? I could be wrong though.

Rats are the smartest rodents, fancy mice are pretty great too but they're not as smart and cats love them for the wrong reasons. I personally hate guinea pigs/hamsters but to each they're own. Ferrets are GREAT! (But smelly). And that's my 2 cents!

Is now a good time to remind everyone that we're in college, I'm going for a PhD, we won't be in a position to get animals for about 5 years, and we don't even know what state it's going to be in?

(But otherwise, thanks muchly!)

Oh! Okay! Well then you should also know that pet rodents CAN attract non-pet rodents and well… you can see how that would be bad. In case you didn’t know that. It’s actually why I had to get rid of my rats.

Also good to know!!

I mean if you have horses, you have to have cats, or else uber mousetraps. Sooooo... there'll be a cat. The question is which rodents, when, and how to introduce them to the cat.

I'm not sure the context of that last ask, but I'm assuming you're concerned about having rats when you have cats/dogs. I had 2 rats a few months back (I loved them so much. Best pets ever) and my cats honestly didn't even care about them. One of the cats would actually try to groom the rats. As long as you keep a lid on the cage and get bars that are close together (do this anyway because rats are super good at escaping) you should be fine!

The context is that Jo and I want like all of the pets ever and we're definitely adopting a dog or several from a shelter and two horses and a cat to help with pest control because of the horses. Which is why we're worried about keeping rodents as pets. Because the cat is going to be outside killing rats and mice and um. we don't want them to kill the pet ones too.

But that's good!!! Hopefully everyone will get along or we could just stagger pets

Hey! Why did you follow me? I mean, I love that you are, but I've gotten this really sudden influx of followers and I can't figure out why. Could you help me solve this mystery because I'm so confused.

I liked your blog, tis all ouo

And I've gotten a splurge of followers too; I don't understand why either. I had 60 on the 3rd and now I have 75 followers .-.
