My Rat line was started by two Stud Buck  Cinnamon Rex  brothers   Bill & Ben.

They are sadly missed but their many kittens carry on to add joy to my life everyday and
I soberly reflect that it was due to my
Bill and Ben that I was inspired to try and
breed so as to keep their kindly characters
in the gene pool.

For many months Minky Poo ( a Mink Doe ) has had an unbelievable bond with Ben.  They have shared the same nest without disagreements for all this time.  They were a perfect Rat couple ,  always sleeping curled up around each other in the nest.

As you see from the pic taken at 4.40pm Ben alive at that time,  to the other pic taken at 5.45pm showing Ben has died in his sleep in that short time.

* His widow died also in her sleep a few months later ....

In Happy days

If a Rat can love ,
then she loved him !

4.40pm alive with his love .

5.45pm Ben has died in his sleep
Minky is now mourning for her mate
