    My 'Angels with whiskers' are rats!  Seven of them!

     

    I am surprised how many people on the rat communities suffer from depressio - and vice versa.

     

    Tonight has been really encouraging - two of my newly rehomed girls came out voluntarily, and allowed me to make a fuss of them.  Miss Smeeze even made some noises which are equivalent to a cat purring.

     

    There are times when I struggle with suicidal temptations, and knowing my rats and hamsters depend on me has been one of the main things which kept me from acting on them.
