Rat’s Painting Sells for $850,000 at Auction

The latest abstract work by legendary painter Winston the rat has been sold at a Sotheby’s auction for a whopping $850,000. The painting, titled “Squeak,” is a clear extension of his Blue Period.

“The way the strokes cris-cross on the canvas – it’s as if he’s crying out for something real in a world full of pretense,” says art critic Simon Jennings. “Ah, who am I kidding, it’s just rat prints.”

Rat Enjoys Best Cupcake Ever

Roxie the rat had one hell of a birthday.  Not only did she have all her friends over for a pool party, but they also got to go mini golfing, watch a DVD of Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never, and, oh yeah, eat the best cupcakes ever!

“Roxie doesn’t care that it’s one of the worst rated movies on all of IMDB.  She’s a fan,” said neighbor Nichole Kelly.  "But whatever.  The star of the party was really those cupcakes. Her eyes just lit up when she saw the tray wheeled in.“

Little Rat Accidentally Orders Oversized Snuggie

Charlie the rat was thrilled when the Home Shopping Network box arrived on his front stoop. Unfortunately, due to a clerical error, the Snuggie he ordered was shipped as an XXXL – roughly 47 sizes too big for the tiny rodent.

While Charlie initially intended to return it, sources say he now plans to grow into it by laying on the couch and eating Häagen-Dazs ice cream.
