Sometimes they aren't going to be as cuddly as we want but that's ok we got them to make their lives good ones not to make them the way we want them to be. Rats all have different personalities and that's ok.

And they never became cuddly nor did they like to be touched. But they never bit me - not even when I had to take and hold them for medical treatment.<br /><br />It never ever came to my mind to have them put Aliennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799347215828994089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13244708.post-14793054071871903512013-07-14T19:21:48.015-07:002013-07-14T19:21:48.015-07:00Great post, I always enjoy hearing about your furr...Great post, I always enjoy hearing about your furry friends and I am entertained by your comments to those who are a little misguided.

Some of us are touchy feeling and like physical contact and others of us prefer people we don't know not to get too familiar until we get to know them. That's the way I look at it. :)Shelley Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090469550227550713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13244708.post-10038992532646244022013-07-13T22:42:20.640-07:002013-07-13T22:42:20.640-07:00Herding Cats- Burning Soup, thank you.

Wild rats can at times be a nuisance when they get into your food and eat it or chew their way into your home but even then I wouldn't call them Mary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13244708.post-79075467700854333302013-07-13T10:22:12.160-07:002013-07-13T10:22:12.160-07:00Very interesting read, but rats are dangerous too ...Very interesting read, but rats are dangerous too LOL<br />Philip Verghese 'Ariel'https://www.blogger.com/profile/16981252465465661710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13244708.post-55967134673038480922013-07-13T08:18:02.330-07:002013-07-13T08:18:02.330-07:00Yep, they have their own mind.
