The Year of the Rat

Don't know what I am. But I believe that rats make absolutely wonderful pets. However that's an awful lot of red undies you will need to buy if you have to wear them every day. Even allowing for the fact that they are washed and reused!! Wonder what the cash out queue at M&S will think when you arrive with that lot???

You are very lucky to be a rat. I worked for many years at the Medical Research Council and got to know many rats. They are clean bright friendly lovable creatures. We owe them a lot. Millions get used for medical research all the time but because people are taught to hate them licenses don’t gave to be applied for, same with mice. I had a pet rat too. So much discrimination that serves a purpose. It’s true they are opportunists (like us) and will use their wits to survive. But then I’m a rooster and will strut and make a racket.

Im a Fire Rooster, married to a Metal Snake!
There has always been plenty of metal in my husbands life after a 50yr career in the Contruction industry, but he still has a passion for all things metal, loves going around Steam Rallies and Railway museums, but sadly no longer works with metal like he used to do.

As for the Fire Rooster, does a liking for KFC count lol?

I'm a dragon. My children are dog, rat and dragon. My grandchildren are horse, rooster and about to be rat.

Yes, I’m a rat as well and proud of it. My little brother is also a rat. Not sure about the red underwear though!!

Neighhhh

You’re welcome Chris0

I realised there would be a few of us 1954 babies on here, that’s why I posted the longer thread - it wasn’t ‘all about me’ truly. I thought a few wooden horses might find it interesting!

I am a dragon, and a leo - double whammy!!!!

Rats are the most fabulous pets. Very sociable, clean, friendly, curious. Quite fascinating.

I'm a monkey. A metal one at that, I'm feeling very heavy and imobile today. Our son will be a rat. I'm not sure what the girls are. 2011 and 2014.

Just looked up what I am. Apparently I'm a gold rabbit! Any other 1951 GNs out there?

I am a monkey and my dh is a snake is that a good combination as we have been married for 57 years I really hope so.
Don’t know much about chinese horoscopes

How would you find out what the difference between a metal snakes and just a snake

I too am a Dragon and a Leo - and tend to wear purple underwear.

I'm a monkey, OH a rooster and DS a snake. No idea if we are typical - I will have to go have a read

I'm a Rat as well. I was a bit upset at first when I found out, but as other Rats have said, we have many positive qualities.
From another zodiac, I'm a Fish.

I had no idea either, but I’m also a Dragon. I will have to research to see if the characteristics fit my my personality or not!

Linda Cor! Thanks for that image. I'll take it to bed and hope for sweet dreams; past the witching hour ,again!
OoRoo

I'm a Capricorn Horse, apparently.

I am a rabbit and a Leo. My character is somewhere between the two. I am pretty placid, and rarely lose my temper, but I won’t let myself be pushed around either

I have been casting people’s Ming Shui for some time. This is where we look at not only the year, the animal, the elements that support those, the season, fortnight,day and hour of birth. Therefore, even though people are born in the same year, many many other attributes apply.

I'm also a rat.

I'm a rat! I'm going that this is a good sign, as I do need some good luck this year!

I am a rat and your thread is spot on, that is me to a Tee.

I’m a horse, and a fire horse at that

A rat is an amazing pet. My DD wanted one and, although I said no way as I hate their tails, she managed to talk us round and we all absolutely loved him. He was very clean and so intelligent. He soon learned to open his cage (which was in DD's room) and would come and go as he pleased. When you picked him up he climbed onto your shoulder and would sit there while you walked around. If we couldn't find him, we just called his name and he came. We only had him for 2 years but he was such a character and really missed.

By the way, I am a pig and my DH a rat.
