Why do people say that hate rats because of their tails2007-11-24 22:19:47

The tail is just new and strange I believe and the fact it's scaly .. People are scared of odd things(blood,thunder etc.) and I think a lot of it is blamed on the tail when they're really just scared of rodents. My Mom always said she was scared of the tail and she hates guinea pigs=tailless LOL, she despises my poor Jack because he's as she puts it "a rat." Don't get me wrong she went and got him it's just she really does dislike him.

Yeah, I don't know. I like rats' tails. I don't mind if they have fur or not. I also however like my cats' tails, it's fun to swirl their tail around your finger while they're moving it around. Haha, strange, but whatever :D

It's also strange that people tend to only like animals with fur, and are against the hairless ones (even though people don't have fur). Take a worm for example. Nobody thinks warms are 'cute' and nobody plays with them when they find them, but many people absolutely love caterpillars! Now I know those are slightly different, but they're equally long, skinny, and flimsy (;.

EDIT: okay okay I admit worms are kinda slimey, but still! Most people prefer animals with fur.. I guess because they want to get all warm and cuddly with them. The ones without fur cannot give you warmth :P
