Contrast

In comparison Ren and Stimpy look like any normal rat but looks are deceiving. They couldn’t be any more different from each other. When we took them home from the pet store, they were so small and so curious. I remember the first time that they ran on my shoulders and snuggled my neck. At first it was kinda freaky having a rat crawling through your hair. But over time I got used to it. They have the best life of any rat in the world. They eat top notch food and have only the finest linens to sleep on. The name Ren and Stimpy says it all. You automatically think they are mischievous creatures from their name. Ren is an albino rat which means that he is all white and is practically blind with pink eyes. Stimpy is black and white and seems to see fine. He is the protector rat. He protects Ren from any danger that is near. While Ren is hiding in the corner scared shitless. Stimpy comes running over and confronts what the potential danger that might be there. Their personalities are totally opposite of one another. They are brothers from the same litter and they are like any other sibling when it comes to sibling rivalry. Some mornings I wake up and one will have a bloody nose from a brotherly spat the night before. Usually the loser is Ren and he ends up with a bloody nose on many occasions. They are very interesting to watch in their 4 foot by 3 foot custom cage that we built for them. The cage has three levels. It has a wooden frame with metal chicken wire around it so that they can’t escape. They became very cozy in their new cage even since the first night that we put them in it. They have the life of luxury for a rat. They eat better than most people that I know. They have the best life. They are hand fed food and sleep all day and party all night. Wouldn’t it be nice to be them? No responsibility, no bills, and everything handed to you on a silver platter!
