A Kenyan woman has sparked a social media buzz after adopting a tiny rat she rescued from the market. Lady Kay 66 joyfully announced that she is now a mother, as she lovingly cares for the newborn rat as if it were her own child.
In a series of videos posted online, she shared moments of herself showering the little creature with affection and attention. She even asked her followers to suggest names for her new “baby,” but noted that she hasn’t chosen one yet because she’s unsure of the rat's gender.
Lady Kay also spoke about the challenges of being a new parent, mentioning that she’s had to learn what works best for the rat. She added that the rat is allergic to some of the products she uses, such as lotions and perfumes.
