| Potato and Goma cuddling |
When I stumbled upon this story about a rat named Mr.
Tiffany (Mr. T for short), I didn’t expect anything deep. I was there for a
cute story, some funny anecdotes, and maybe a few photos of an adorable pet.
Instead, I got to read about how a fast-paced couple living abroad took in a
shivering rat, alone and near death, and nursed him back to health. In the
process, they became enamoured with his boundless energy and addicting
personality. Mr. T allowed them to stop focusing on work and start prioritizing
time at home with each other and their newly-adopted pet, which, even after he
was gone, allowed for his family to feel prepared enough to have a non-furry
child.
It really is heart-warming to know that one lonely rat found
in an alley could have such a profound effect on people. He completely changed
their lives for the better. I like to think that all of our pets do the same. I
know that my rats have become an integral part of my life – apart from being
the focus of this blog, they also act as silent, yet cuddly, confidants, as
well as being an endless source of entertainment for my entire family. A rat’s
love is, indeed, a powerful thing.
