They all have little snake friends! I’ve come across more people who get the shudders, not over rats, but their tails. They can’t abide a naked tail.
Rat tails are a very important bit though, that’s how they regulate temperature, so it would be a bad thing if they were all furry. And it would look weird. ;p

Don’t mind me, I’ll just be over here squeeing. Picture 2: rat-egg!
Oh, rat balls, and endless source of amusement. :D

That first one is giving me a cute overload. I’m trying to imagine rats with puffy, furry tails: that would be cute too but then they would look kind of like chinchillas…

I don’t mind the nekkid tails, they’re quite fascinating, but I will admit they look like little snakes following them around -- then again, I like snakes, too. Adorable!

Haha, I was looking at the overall body shape, but the balls are like a mini egg too :-D they do look comical dragging them around, poor boys.
They do actually have hair on their tails, it’s just very fine.

Still adorable. From the first and the second one could gather that as a male rat you have to take care of your feet and check your balls from time to time.
In the third, I love how the boys are napping between each other’s tail and body.

Those two were complete partners, they loved each other so much. Chas was the homebody, rarely leaving the studio, while Alfie was the intrepid explorer, who also kept the cats in line. They were terrified of Alfie.
“Gahd, all those men out there, waving their tails suggestively in my general direction! It’s summer, for fucks’ sake, not a zoo.”
“Seriously, dude, get that fluff out of my face, I’m going to work.”
“I’m glad you can make rings with your tail. Can you get out of the way and let me off the bus now?”
“See my tail? It means I’m not interested. Now go away.”
Aww. They have little hands and feet! And one of them has a little snake friend that follows it around!
Seriously adorable.

And their little pink toes.

Naked tails bother people? They’re just suffering tail envy! Think of all the social things we could signal if we had long beautiful tails!
If they had furry tails, they’d be squirrels.
That would be bad.
Great. Not just catcalling, but tailwaving, too! (I say this with some snark.)

Mine’s bigger!! (Groan)

Marcus, did you go back and complete your education on whiskerses? :D

:falls over laughing:
We would need tails which could act as a whip.
With a stinger on the end. *cackle*
rq:
A venomous stinger. That could solve a lot of problems. “Oh scientists, get right on that, please!”
I want mine to be stripey like a ring-tail lemur tail. With a nice, accurate, snappy action, when needed.
Now I miss Yde Girl, Spook and my other ratties of long ago.
But with ten cats it wouldn’t be a good idea.
In this house, the rats rule. The cats leave them be, they’ve learned the hard way what happens when they don’t.
rq:
I’d go with the naked tail, but infused with chromatophores. Gotta be able to accessorize. It would enable much more ring wearing!
