I know I'm new, but I thought I'd hop in:
Here is the derivation of "ratgrrl"
I have pet rats, yes rats. I love them to pieces. They actually make fabulous pets (I guess you might have to just take my word for it, but you could also visit http://www.ratpalace.com to find lots of people who agree with me)
The "grrl" comes from my fondness for the Riot Grrrl punk music movement of the late 1990's (involving bands such as Bikini Kill and Sleater Kinney to name just 2). Since then "grrrl" has been coopted by many people/subcultures, so I figure why can't I be a grrl too?
