People who like rats really like them, and people who don't...Don't. I love my rats because they are smat, sweet, affectionate, quiet, clean, and friendly. They have to be treated well to be these things, you cant just stick a rat in a cage and expect it to do well.

There are many reasons people like rats. I happen to love rats because they are intelligent, cute, and friendly if you treat them right. Plus they r one of the cleanest animals on earth. Rats don't trust right off, you have to earn it, which makes the rat more special. Also, I have never been bitten by my rats, only scratches (which can be avoided), where I have been bitten by mice, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and rabbits. I'll take an animal that is less likely to bite over one that has bitten me before.

Because they are cute, friendly, and very smart. And they are big enough to hold and carry around. I have also been bitten by way more hamsters than rats when I worked at a pet shop for 3 years. So I think they are nicer. I have 2 right now.

I have 3 and they are my babies. They are clean, and potty trained. They don't puke on the floor or bark. They are better than any other pet. They love me for me, and rat love is not free. They must trust you, need you, they are like little people. I really do love them dearly. So very intelligent, I think they are smarter than apes. The Hindu believe some people are reincarnated as rats, and they act so human it is amazing. THey also know their names. Koopa comes to King and Koopa. Bowzer takes care of Socrates, because he is blind. If only people were as loving as rats, there would be no homeless.

I have no idea, but I guess rats need love, too.

i dunno but in my third grade class, we had to rats as our class pets and their names were casey and sable and i seemed to be the only kid in the class who thot they were little disquisting poopy things with long tailes and ugly beady eyes. Our teacher would make little clothes for them and put bows on their tails and crap like that. it was disguisting how much she loved those things. makes me wanna cringe and roll up into a ball. lol!

because they are cute intelligent and they are friendly they don't bite as much as hamsters or gerbils and they aren't as harsh smelling.
