The Smell of Ratties

Now Kimi, like most other adult boy ratties, smells rather wonderful - like warm corn chips, and the smell of cuddling and cosiness and yummy furry mammal warmth!

*takes deep breath of Kimi*

Mmm!

*has asthma attack*

Linus, on the other hand, also has that warm corn chippiness, but a little something extra as well... which we couldn't identify until tonight... Previous suppositions proposed sandalwood? some sort of talcum powder? expensive perfume?

But on our little post-dinner walk around Epping (too much french camembert and our very first smoked trout!), as the night air wafted all these blossomy smells past us, we came to the stunning observation that Linus smells like cherry blossoms!

Hurrah! Mystery solved, and so satisfyingly so.



Cherry blossoms are so pretty. Like Linus.
