Functional art for rats (and the humans who love them)

Some people buy décor.
Some people buy fashion.
I buy thrift-store blankets and canvas jackets and turn them into rat playgrounds — and honestly, it’s way more fun.

The idea started simple: my rats needed enrichment, warmth, and exploration. Cages alone aren’t enough. Blankets alone aren’t enough. Then it clicked — what if clothing and décor became the playground?

🧵 What these pieces are

Each piece starts with recycled fabrics — thrift-store blankets, hoodies, denim, canvas, and anything durable enough to be abused by teeth and claws.

Then they’re painted and sewn into dimensional structures with:

• Pant legs and sleeves → burrows / tunnels

• Pockets and hoods → hideouts / nap caves

• Grommets and straps → hang it like a curtain or wear it

• Embedded chew toys → safe gnawing zones

• Foraging loops + secret pouches → treat-hunt enrichment

They’re designed to be loved, destroyed, shredded, and rebuilt.
Not gallery art you protect — art that gets chewed to death.

I call them Rat Curtains (when hung)
and Creature Comfort Clothing (when worn).

🎨 The Art Style

Think:

• Basquiat-meets-Madonna street-canvas energy (thank you Ryan Stewart, Chicago)

• Japanese watercolor layers fading under claw-marks

• 80s pop culture colors like Simon, Gameboy, and neon arcade grime

• Warhol soup cans big enough for a rat to crawl inside

Not sterile.
Not minimalist.
Maximalist, playful, textured, and meant to deteriorate beautifully.

👕 Clothing version

Oversized hoodies / jackets with:

• hidden tunnels between layers of fabric

• pouch pockets for warmth

• reinforced seams for claws

• safety mesh windows in optional sections

• modular attachments (yes — you can clip on more burrows)

Created for:

• Rats

• Ferrets

• Prairie dogs

• Pocket exotics
  (Not marketed for cats — let's leave that for someone else.)

Perfect for remote workers, couch Netflix nights, cold apartments, and anyone who likes their animal kids close.

💡 Where this can go

I’m building this into a product line — maybe Etsy, maybe direct website, maybe consignment-style resale like Poshmark/Depop because people pay big for their pets/kids and there’s space for handmade enrichment art.

I need:

• ✂️ sewers / fabric artists

• 🎨 textile painters

• 🔍 sourcing thrifters

• 📦 shipping + order fulfillment

• 👩‍💻 marketing help (Google / TikTok / Insta / pet influencers)

• 🧠 designers who want to co-create themed builds from customer requests

And for accessibility:

• Custom builds

• Limited runs

• More affordable premade pieces from recycled materials

🤝 Get involved

I’m open to:

• Collaborators

• Early customers

• Shops that want to carry a piece

• People who just like the energy and want to follow along

This is enrichment, fashion, and art meeting in the middle — built for animals who deserve more than a cage and a pellet.

If that resonates with you, reach out.
Let’s build warm tunnels, wild textures, and wearable rat playgrounds together.

All payments in Monero / XMR ONLY. NO USD involved. Nope. Figure it out.
