Not the Year of the Rat by taffy

Not the Year of the Rat

Given my total fear of rodents, it's ironic that in the Chinese calendar, I was born in the Year of the Rat (there were 12 possibilities, and I ended up with the rat...). This is the only sculpture I've ever seen that represents the rat and is still an intriguing, appealing figure! From Andie's and my Chinatown tour.
A bit of an enigma this rat! However probably anything is better than the real thing!

What an interesting sculpture and yes the only way to see a rat! I really do not like them!

It is pretty cool but it does remind me of the little creature in Ice Age that is also chasing the nut.

Ha ha ... I'm a fellow rat! Nice to see such an attractive rat. Great image.

Hmmm, this is an odd sculpture to say the least!

Interesting sculpture. I hate rats but this one really doesn't worry me at all!

Such an interesting looking sculpture and I'm sorry you got stuck with the rat. I wonder what year I was born in.

this is rather a lovely sculpture, but I cant see the rat. Probably a good thing.

Lovely sculpture, although it looks more like a bunny rabbit to me.

Cool picture.

Glad you told me it was a rat. Imagination mustn't be functioning.

What a marvelous sculpture even if it’s of a rat!

I think it's a terrific sculpture, I'd put in my garden any day. Hate rats though, we get them in the garden, a penalty for living near the river. Dog-proof bait stations keep them under control, thank goodness. BTW, I'm a Snake, and I hate snakes!!

Yes, this is definitely the best kind of rat. A lovely sculpture.
