Ivy's adventures...

[alwaysjbj]

Ivy discovered the cat's scratching post yesterday and thought it was great to climb...the only problem was how to get back down again. lol






She ran around on the top shelf for about 15 minutes until I rescued her
.


   


Then it was time to go back in her cage...which she said was just NOT fair!

Awww...cute! :o) The cat didn't bother her, did he/she?

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL No, Jkeira was outside at the time. She was most unimpressed when she came back in and her scratching post smelled of rat!

[sandy-s.livejournal.com]

Phew! :o)

What did the kitty do when she smelled rat?

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

She just sat there sniffing it and glaring at me.

[sandy-s.livejournal.com]

Poor kitty! ;o)

LOL She's over it now. She's convinced she should be an only-pet...doesn't like sharing our attention with dogs, rat, chook and horses.

But as she takes up semi-permanent residence on my lap or the back of my chair, and is the most spoilt creature on the face of the earth, she doesn't really have too much to complain about.

So incredibly adorable!

That she is--she has so much personality.

Alas she's not a cuddle-rat, not like Bailey was. Ivy is much more independent.

She is BEAUTIFUL! I so want a ratty of my very own *pouts*. It would end in disaster. Merlot would have a sauce ready for poaching from the minute ratty came home
:( I'll just have to look lovingly at Ivy x

Rats are a lot of fun!

As long as you got the right cage, you'd be okay...but it would need to be both rat and Merlot proof!

My cage wouldn't stand up to a determined dog, I don't think it would even stand up to a determined cat, fortunately Jkeira isn't all that interested--she just likes to glare at Ivy. I have my eye on a really amazing cage that is much sturdier and has a smaller gap between the bars as I'm thinking about getting a yougster or two to keep Ivy company--she doesn't seem to be too lonely since Bailey pased away, but it's not good for them to be solitary, as they are very social animals.

Hee! Had herself a little adventure, did she?

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

She did... and it was so funny! Ivy is fabulous at climbing UP things, but not so confident about climbing back down.

HEE! So cute!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

She is quite the cutie.

She's such a funny little creature, she has to have everything just so, and one of the best (and funniest) ways to annoy her is to rearrange her things--she then has to put everything back where it belongs while making cranky noises at you. Watching a little rat dragging around things three times her size while muttering to herself is hilarious.

[jerusha]

LOL! Quincey will do that, too. She talks to herself (and to thin air/ghosts) all the time. She'll mutter to herself if we haven't done what she wants. We love hearing all her sounds!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL Life without pets would be so dull!

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Hee! Those scratching posts can be tricky.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Oh definitely! lol

Nevermind that she jumps more than the distance from the top shelf to the one below regularly in her cage (she has things to climb down but prefers to just drop and scare me).

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Oh dear - she does look worried up there, doesn't she?

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

She looked quite smug moments earlier when she made it to the top...then she realised she had to get back down. lol I tried to get pics of her climbing up, but she was too quick.

[abelina.livejournal.com]

Cute! And that cage is pretty awesome, too, Ivy, even if it isn't the top shelf of a cat post.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Oh she loves her cage, and is ridiculously fussy about where things go in there (it's so much fun to move things and watch her put them back), but cage isn't FREEDOM! lol

My other rat (Bailey) was a cuddler, when she came out she was happy to sit on you and have a snuggle... Ivy is more of an explorer and I am so worried she will do something stupid (like chew a powercord) that she only gets to come out for playtime when someone has time to watch her carefully.

In that first picture you caught Ivy looking kinds nervous about the down trip. Hee hee.

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL Yeah, she likes to climb up things, isn't keen on down. lol
