If you don't like rats, then you just don't get it. Bye. If you are a lover of rats, then, welcome! 2024 is rat love ear. Last summer we all embraced our rat girl era, now it's time to embrace the creature it was inspired after: The rat. Rats get the short end of the stick all the time. They're deemed dirty, invasive, disease-ridden. But I mean, you probably would be too if you were sent to live on the hard city streets on your own with nothing but garbage to eat! Sorry, sorry. I get defensive when it comes to rats. Pet rats are different. They are extremely empathetic and love their humans ferociously. They are adorable and even sometimes cuddly. And they are the silliest little furbabies. When I got my first pet rat, I thought I would never get over the feel of their tail wrapping around my fingers. But then you grow to love that creepy lil thing and then all of a sudden, it's the cutest thing you've ever experienced! Again, you'll only get it if you're a rat girlie—and these memes are for you.
