I would love to have a rat for a pet but, unfortunately, my mother wrongly thinks that all rats are germ ridden, evil bags of venom that are Satan's familiars. I've told her on countless occasions that she is wrong but I think it has something to do with her fear more than anything else.
So I'm going to have to leave home if I want a rat as a pet.
