Rattie (fursuit) is no more
2 months ago
General
The person behind Rattie (myself) is still very much alive. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about my beloved fursuit.
I am currently in the sad situation, that my head was lost last year on a UK train (Cross-country Railway), and what should have been a simple task of getting it back, proved to be virtually impossible. It is nowhere to be found. And no one gives a darn.
Adding to this, the original maker, Jay Costumes, outright refused to help me out, when I requested a replica of the suit. Apparently the age of the suit, and the change of work flow, made it impossible to work on an older project. No altertives were offered, and they now refuse to speak to me.
When contacted shortly after losing the head, they were so forthcoming, and reassuring, that this should be no problem at all. So I waited a year, hoping to get a spot, only to be told to go punch sand.
It makes me incredible sad how little empathy there is left for previous customers, after sharing a heart breaking story. But hey ho. What can one do. Maybe it is the times that has changed (for the worse) where compassion and understanding no longer is something people care about (as much)?
I hope you understand I hold no grudges against my maker. Although, I am very disappointed in the way the whole ordeal has been handled.
Anyway. I am now looking for a new maker. I have a few in mind, but of course there is no guarantee they will offer me a spot.
If you happen to know a maker, preferably in the UK or Europe, that you think makes adorable rat fursuits, feel free to write in comment field below.
I now have to get used to the idea that Rattie will change appearance. That is not easy after having the previous suit for 10 years. But Ieft with no other choice.
End of rant. Lol. XD

For what its worth my maker, Sarahcat fursuits has done a couple rodents in the past that look very nice. They're based in the US though.
But have you tried asking Honey over at AlphaDogs if she got a spot. Her suit quality is a really amazing and sort after lately.
