I think rats are cute. I had a rat for one of my psych classes and named him Cuddles. I was very upset when my mom wouldn't let me bring him home :( Poor Cuddles had to be snake food.
Well, we have one in our laundry room. I've named him Marwan (from 24 - if you're a fan) because the domestic partner has been trying to catch him in a humane trap for 2 months.
He lures him so far, but Marwan won't go in far enough to snap the trap.
I've never seen him, but I'm sure he's cute, in a ratty way, I just don't want to live with him.
