Update: so much for that...

I'm going to be an adoptive rat mommy! I pick these two up on Sunday. (Yes, I've been feeling lonely a lot lately.)

Since inspections are coming up, I figured I'd better ask the apartment building management about pets. Their response: no rodents, under any conditions, end of story. I'm very disappointed and saddened, not to mention irritated that my neighbours are allowed to neglect their cat for days at a time while I'm not trusted to supervise two rats.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww! They're so sweet!
We've had a couple rats. I used to be nervous around them (those and guinea pigs but not other rodents, I dunno why really) but then we took in an abandoned ratty and she won me over pretty quick. :)

They're such wonderful friendly little critters.

Oh, and we had cats when we had both of our rats. They were interested but mostly kinda perplexed as well. As soon as the rat was free and headed towards them the cats tended to become very suspicious and run away to observe from a safe distance. It was the same with our bunnies.
