Oh what a lovely thing to be able to watch! You are very lucky. I would have loved to have seen that.
Rats, so I hear, apart from being highly intelligent, are also quite emotional, loyal and loving.
I feel very guilty and sad about once chasing a wild rat out of the house by banging saucepans and scaring it. That happened quite a few years ago, and I could see how scared the rat was. Misty was also trying to catch it but I shut her in another room so she wouldn't get badly bitten around the face. That poor rat...I know I wouldn't have treated it like that nowadays. I would have found another, kinder way.
