My neice has three cats

Oh my goodness I have never heard of that before lol Mind you I have always been told that Cats won't go for Rats so is that true then?

Funny is an understatement! It is hilarious! I wish I could have seen it! This makes wonderful material for youtube don't you think!

Rats are highly intelligent, and affectionate. It doesn't surprise me. People do not give animals enough credit for their emotions. They do get jealous.

That is funny! I would never own a pet rat, but it is funny to hear something like this!

It always makes me laugh to read or hear of these amusing stories of the interaction between animals. Particularly different species, who would normally be enemies. I have never heard of a pet rat being jealous of a rat., It is extraordinary. I am amazed that the cat doesn't go after the rat. But then, when we first got our cockatiel quite often we would put his cahe on the kitchen table, just tyo give him a better view & different things to look at. My big fluffy cat was fascinated. She would go up to the cage & smooch it. Then lie down next to the cage, with her whiskers & long fur poking in through the wires. The cockatiel wasn't scared of the cat. He would pull it's whiskers. Yet, in the front yard, my naughty caqt catches birds.

I've had several pet rats so that doesn't suprise me in the least. They are a lot smarter than most people give them credit for! My first rat, what a sweetheart. I got her when I was working at a pet store where we kept a large supply of rats. I don't know what it was about this one rat but she kind of liked me and got kind of attached to her so the boss said I could take her home if I wanted to. Within a short period of time she knew her name and when I'd get home from work she'd meet me at my door, I'd put my foot out and she'd crawl all the way up and sit on my shoulder waiting for her treats of sunflower seeds. She slept with me most nights laying either across my neck or curled up next to my neck. Every morning at 7:00 she thought she was my alarm clock. She'd do anything she could to wake me up. She'd lick my nose or pull on my eyelashes. She was also litter trained so I never had to worry about cleaning up after her much. She was an adult when I got her so I didn't know how old she was. Unfortunately she only lived about a year. I sure got attached to her in that year. I miss her.

That's really cute. My smallest cat would probably eat a rat if he saw one. He's a real hunter. My other two cats are too wussy to try and kill anything.
