A few rat facts from Petco.com:

  • Rats are highly intelligent, affectionate and loving mammals.
  • They are very loyal.
  • Rats are extremely clean pets.
  • With proper socialization, rats are one of the most social and trainable companion animals.
  • Rats can swim.
  • Ancient Romans considered rats to be a sign of good luck.
  • The average size of a rat’s litter is 12 pups. Rats can have litters of up to 20 rat pups, but it’s not common.
  • The first rat to become an astronaut traveled into space from France in 1961!

Maybe being called a rat isn’t all that bad πŸ€

    I’m all for them in nature, but would not be so happy and supportive if I find one at home! πŸ™‚
