Today's prompt is "curly rat"
This is in honor of our rats that do "fashion tail." It's not genetic or caused by running in a wheel. They do it to impress each other and even teach others how to do it. So cute 💙

I've seen my rats fall asleep in precarious places only to fall off. They're always okay. Just gives me a good laugb.

I saw the prompt ratio, and this is what I imagined. Apparently most people took it as the mathematic ratio. Oops. #Rattober #Rattober2025 #rats
