> [@janis\_and\_c0](#): > > Leo did that once… I thought he was just chicken hearted! _LOL_ In all fairness, my roommate who originally owned the rats had a kitten. Kitten got too frisky and threatened the rat- the rat spent the next half hour chasing the kitten around the apartment and bit him on the nose for good measure. Kitten wisely decided never to bother a rat again. ---

Congratulations janis! Baby rats are so much fun. I got a new batch of four babies in January. In case you didn’t see it, I posted a couple of videos of my kids [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pet-pictures/920105/439). Hope Archie and Alfie are doing well. ---

😉 My girlfriend and I are watching the whole series, her for the first time, me for the third. This is also her first exposure to pet rats, while I’ve had rats for over 10 years. Thankfully she’s become as entranced by rats as I am. ---
