Early Morning lulz

taleyaSometime around 5am this morning I got woken up by nocturnal rattie activities.
For some backstory - Beans is the complete and utter mistress of the pathetic, woeful squeak. If she's pinned and groomed, humped, or even *bumped* by another rat, you'll hear this high, slow and woeful eee ....eeee that sounds like the broken sobbing of a rat in perpetual torment. The little drama queen.
Pinky is a chortler. Chortle, rumble, honk, snot. We've been back and forth to the vet, checked this and that, tests here and there, tried the meds and as near as he can figure, it's allergies, much like Thumper's occasional whiffs (all up in her snout, lungs are clear). Driving me nuts trying to figure out what it is as we keep a clean and chemical-free house - knowing my luck she's allergic to the changes in my chemistry with the allergy meds I'm on >.< But as long as it's not affecting her beyond the occasional snortfest, we're not overly worried (my money's on the long-suffering futon, but we're getting a new one soon anyway)

Sometime around 5am I'm awakened by this hilarious cacophony of sounds. THUMP THUMP chortlechortlechortle
eeee.....eeeeeeeeee!!
Chortle chortle
THUMP THUMP
eeeeeeeeee!
If it wasn't so fucking hilarious I probably woulda been a bit pissed, but as it was I just laughed, rolled over and stuck my head under the pillow. Didn't sound like a fight, just random ratly arsing about, but fuck me, it was hilarious :D
Is it sad that I could identify which rats were involved purely by their vocalisations? I think not :P
