pet white rat when she was a teenager, but i honestly cannot bear the thought of one crawling all over me! i understand they are very smart and can be nice pets, though, for someone who enjoys them. i’m glad they made you happy while you had them.
years ago i met a lady who was terrified of cats – which seemed strange to me at the time – and when i invited her to my house i had to put my cat outside.
i hope you get to visit your rats now and again.
