Bio

The first time I ever held Psych was when she was merely hours old, just a tiny pink thing. It was incredible watching she and her siblings grow from those naked little babies to proper rats. Her eyes opened for the first while she was in my hand, and it was love at first sight from then. She was the biggest of her litter, and the first to open her eyes and start moving around. Once she could see the world, she wanted to explore it. Psych was bolder than her sister and cagemate, Lyrik, and liked to investigate everything.

Psych reminds me in some ways of Sabayon - she has that same attitude. She is a demanding rodentist and doesn't let anything get in her way. She adores her wheel. She wants to play with me all the time, and rattles the cage bars frantically if I ignore her.

Tales

Make Out Sessions
Psych is the only ratty I've had that will let me lay her on her back. Infact, she likes rolling over onto her back. One of her favourite games involves me lying on my stomatch, on the bed, with Psych lying on her back under my face. She holds onto my chin with her paws and licks my lips. My poor boyfriend - I spend more time making out with my rats than with him.

Psych The Monster
I got a bit of a shock today. I was sitting at my computer, working, when suddenly Psycheira appears on my lap. I'd been under the impression that she was playing on the bed safely, but no, the little monster had been trying to figure out how to get to me. She looked so smug, and poor Lyrik was frantic from trying to find her. What am I going to do with this rat?
