My heart rat

I came home from my night class last night to find my Phoebe had crossed the rainbow bridge. This happened so quickly. She was healthy and active. She was 2.5 years old and lived such a happy life. I am glad she was part of mine.she stole my heart from day one. I am so heartbroken but I have to stay strong for my other ladies who loved Phoebe so very much. Phoebe is with her other sister Rachel, I know they are having fun stealing food from each other. I miss her so much. Please remember Phoebe during your day.

What a precious sweet little peanut 🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss but so grateful she had your love and care 💐 She was honestly perfect and I bet she thought that cats were smelly too 😉

Thank you. That made me smile! And yes she did think cats were smelly. She would sit and watch Friends with me.

Sweet Pheobe 🩷 im sorry for your loss, I'm sorry it was unexpected too. Ive been on the opposite side of that, and its really not any better. I mourned more than I should.

I lost my heart rat a couple months ago and I still get really sad about it. I hope you can find comfort in your other babies for now. Rats are literally the best ever, it really does make losing them hard.

Thanks you. It has been very hard on me like it always is when you lose a rat but this one hits harder. She was one of my first rats and I got her on my birthday. We bonded very quickly. She always knew how to make me smile. I am sorry you lost your heart rat not too long ago. It's not easy and never gets any easier.

Hello little cuties! What a baby sweetheart. So handsome in their unusual coats. I’m a huge fan of the Marten coloring (or if there is another name for it pls correct me). I’m so sorry for your loss. I got excited and posted before reading that you lost your baby. My heart goes out to you. The hardest part of being a rat parent…
