Cute images thread - yes, another image thread

I love animals, I'd love to have a sea slug bunny as pictured above, but I absolutely adore "red or ginger" cats. I've been privileged to grow up with some and raise some into sweet, incredible cats.



I also have a deep fondness for octopi and squids!

Anyone who posts a picture of samoyeds without informing me will suffer a spook this month. Be careful!!

Another creature that gets shat on far too much and I've raised from pinkies to loving adults.
Domesticated rats are awesome

If I ever live somewhere warm with a large backyard I’ll adopt one. They seem really cool! But that show I feel about all reptiles.

There are other tortoise varieties that stay small and are super cute. Red tortoises and Russian tortoises fit that category, if you really want one.

The reason sulcatas are overrun here is that they are easy to breed, have a dozen or so hatchlings in a brood, and people see dollar signs in selling them to folks that have NO idea of what they are getting into. It's their own terminal cuteness as babies that ends up killing them in the long run.

In honor of the season, have some adorable little bats!

My big Ginger boy - Julius (Juju). He's gotten creamier as he's gotten older.

My sister has a lil' orange kitty name. Ollie. He's too scared to be so majestic as your Julius. Ollie will forever be small because he probably had some hard times in his youth. It would explain why hiding is his highest priority reaction.

Those little guys are amazing. Jumping spiders and wolf spiders are my favorites of the family.

Spoiler: MORE SPIDERS

Prolific killers of bugs I despise

I would love to have rats, but the fact they have such short life spans discourages me a bit. Plus the area I live in doesn't seem to have anyplace to get rats besides pet stores where rats clearly are bred to be food and hence have health and genetic problems.

Oh I feel for you. I want to rescue all the pet shop rats but I know I can't. I get mine from a breeder who breeds for heath or i foster but right now I travel for work so i cant have rats. 2 years isn't long but they give you a lot in that time.

Here's Frida. She was a terror into old age and bit me all the time but she was my best friend. Super intelligent for a rat, pretty smart for a human, had a rat sense of humour, never peed on anyone, made epic nests. Good girl, top alpha female. I miss her all the time. She lived to nearly 3.
I had the same issue with the 2 year age thing, it's so hard to see them go. I just say get 3 and make sure you never have one alone, they don't do well alone.

Oh yes, definitely. I researched quite a bit about rats for a good long while. It's amazing how social they are and how much they need interaction and stimulation from other rats. They're a lot like people in that sense.

Such sweet little critters rats are. They burn bright with so short a lifespan they've been given. I am sad now.

They are soft, gentle little souls and they don't need much.
I really hope you can have a few in your life soon.
