Define what kind of rat?... Pet rat? I'm OK with that... I've known a few that ere REALLY cute....Those kinds of rats that come into my home, only to have my Meezers go, "Yep, they're in there... there they are... What? ME do something about it...NO, NO, YOU take care of it!!! EEEEEEEK! It's chasing ME!!!".... NO I DO NOT LIKE THOSE RATs.
