A rat is more than a little creature you occasionally find in your downstairs basement. Their appearance may not be as appealing, but their personality is something you'd appreciate. With their charming and inquisitive manner, rats are known to be very popular and adaptable with others. Although they can be greedy at times, rats know how to spot opportunities for success and they have a desire to absorb as much new information as possible, without anyone getting in their way.
