Manhattan Woman Keeps Rats as Pets

Manhattan Woman Keeps Rats as Pets Well Remalina, my first rat, I named Remy after Ratatouille and Remalina is like the female version of Remy. And myself I was brought up Catholic, so Christiana has Christ in it. And they both are such a joy and when I look at them I can see God in their eyes. I can see the innocence. This box goes over there. I have a towel over it and that’s where they basically stay. They sleep all day, they’re nocturnal. And they’ll have little treats, I give them dog cookies but they’re vegetarians as well because I don’t believe in feeding one animal to another animal. So they’re amazing pets and people really come around and I really think it’s exterminators that give them a bad name. Because they make money off of them, it’s blood money to me. And Remy, he lived three years. Yes in my meal too. They died within like six months of each other and they’re buried up state and my Reggie, like I said just past away. So he’ll be up state as well. I have a crucifix with my little pet cemetery up there. And this is my little boy Reggie, who passed away about four weeks ago. And he’s got a little -- he’s favorite thing is blueberry yogurt so he’s got a little bit on his mouth. This is where he loved me to wrap him right here. He goes on his back in a little --. You know I give him kisses like bring them out. So he’s so dear to me. He was such a good boy, such a good boy. As you can see he’s much bigger than my girls. They just touch my heart like all animals I love but especially little rats, like my little babies. This is my little baby boy -- see his little whiskers here. He’s hands are in prayer. Well it’s again the Catholic faith being buried. We’ll go up to the mountain. I have this plot already dug and I have to cross there and just lay him to rest.
