While my pet rats are so much MORE than omniverious garbage eaters, when I give them a leftover corn cob and see them descend upon it with the fastidious vigor of a species that has spent thousands of years living under the metaphorical dumpsters of humankind, I am reminded that they really are just rats. Cuties, but rats none the less.

yes, they are rats. But, they are pets 1st, at least as far as you are concerned…so it’s hard to see them as any less…that is almost with any pet someone may own, at least in my opinion.
