Dude me too. Rats and cats, ironically.

Then I'm glad that I posted this at just the right time

Have you ever handled pet rats?
Do you find them disgusting?

I didn't have a problem with rats until my roommate got one and let it wander the house unchecked while she was at work. He dragged his huge balls over everything he touched, marked his territory on my stuff, and tried to climb up my leg while I was cooking in the kitchen. She never put him in a ball or anything. It was awful. I haven't liked rats since.
