I mark the passing of Polythemia, the one-eyed wonder rat. She was the sweetest damn rat ever, and the giver of Hot Rat Ear Sex. She was a gift from the Woman, who had been watching her as an animal rescue, and my first rat ever. Not much else can be said. She lived a fuller life, considering she started out as reptile food. Mate to Sigmund, the hairless Rex, and lover of all people who handled her. May she come back as a really nice human being.
