It is not true that rats abandon their babies almost as soon as they learn to eat and crawl on their own. Mother rats are very caring, and sometimes even carry their offsprings on their backs - especially if they sleep so sweetly. Rats are not in vain used by scientists in their research - they are really very smart and quick-witted.

In fact, rats are quite easy to train, and become true friends for their owners. They especially love it when their fluffy tummies are scratched (however, rats are not alone here - who in this world does not like to have one's tummy scratched?)

Probably the only work in modern popular culture depicting a good rat is the famous Pixar's cartoon 'Ratatouille'. But even here there is room for a really sad fact.

Actually for the truthful display of rotting vegetables and fruits on screen, Pixar studio employees collected a whole garbage heap, which, of course, attracted many live rats. So, after filming 'Ratatouille' the staff ruthlessly called in the deratisation service... Definitely, this Twitter page with cute rat memes should have appeared even earlier.

Oh yeah, there is another famous rat in popular culture. This is an outstanding martial artist, as well as a connoisseur of the Renaissance art, named Splinter, who became the teacher of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was Splinter, by the way, who gave the turtles their world-famous names.

If you have rats, here's a really fun thing you can do: get one of those long paper bags they put bottles of booze in, and hang it up inside the cage with a bulldog clip or something like that. In a matter of minutes you'll have zero rats in sight and a bag moving around like it's possessed. It's so funny. And then they get to enjoy tearing the bag to pieces and scurrying back to the nest dragging huge pieces of brown paper in their mouths. 😆

If you get your rats from a reputable breeder, they will be amazing! Smell won't be much of an issue of you clean them out regularly and they will be friendly from the get-go. Boy tatties tend to be more chill than girls. I would like to state, that even if you get rats that have not been handled and acclimated to human bonding, with some work, they will be. I've kept a whole range of rats over the past 10 years and even the bitey pet shop ones will become little snuggle angels when you spend that time with them.

Rats are great pets. They are clean, not known to bite, very social, can laugh when tickled, can be trained. Their biggest downfall is their relatively short life span.

Rats are so stinkin' cute!! Years ago I got one by pure chance when some a$$hole left her on a trail and quickly drove away - the poor baby desperately ran after passerbys for help, clearly used to being handled and NOT used to the great outdoors! I picked her up and took her home with me. Presented her to the vet next day for a checkup - turns out she was rather old already and maybe a lab rat - therefore I spared her the stress of getting to know new (young) rats. She still lived her best life for almost another year before one day she just dropped dead without any sign of illness in advance.

I once rescued about six pet rats who had been dumped in a drain and left to die by some heartless scumbag. >:( I was able to find new homes for all but two of them, who I kept. I also rescued a big cuddly boy who had likewise been dumped and was living in some lady's woodpile. She was terrified of rats, but compassionate enough to notice how he kept walking up to her like he was asking for help. Her daughter knew my mother and therefore knew I was a "rat person", so I was asked to come and take him away. I found him in his sad little nest in the woodpile, and reached down there thinking he would bite me or run away, or both, but no - he started sniffing my fingers as if to say hello and let me pick him up! I took him home, and he was so starved his skin was hanging off him, but right away he was trying to climb onto my shoulder. I soon had him well fed and in good health and we were the best of friends. He suddenly died a few months later, but I never forgot him.

When I was a kid, I snagged a new born rat some stupid kid brought to school. Mom carried him around in her shirt pocket while I was at school. One time we peek in and he's on his back, sucking his thumb and holding his tail like a blanket in the other hand. His name was Rocky and he was the best! Lived to almost five.

Pet rats are totally underestimated, actually rats make great pets for kids because, differently than the nocturnal hamsters or the shy rabbits, guinea pigs, degus or chinchillas, they love the interaction with their humans, and they can be potty-trained and can learn a lot of tricks, like "play dead", "stand on your hind legs" and so on, they love to learn new tricks. Some of my Facebook and Twitter friends have rats, and theirs are all potty-trained, they use a kind of tiny litterboxes and do not pee or poop around anywhere else.

One of my delightful cats brought a baby rat home. Very much alive and happy to be rescued. I sat down on the settee with it to see if it was OK to release. It fell asleep! When it woke it obviously forgot I’d rescued it from 7 large moggies and bit my thumb. Put it outside but did it say thanks as it scurried off? Nope.
