Degus are kind of like a large Gerbil but only come in one color. They have furry tails, typical Gerbil head, a moderately large body, and high energy.

this is so my cat, Taco. She dislikes peanut butter, so if I offer it to her, she attempts to rub on it. Does she not realize she would then have to ingest it anyway to get it off her fur?
No they are baby wild rats, Saved em from getting gased out at a friends house, was in their grill. Handraising em
my best friend ever was a wild eastern wood rat that I raised up. I miss her to this day.
I was in college at the time, so both of us were nocturnal. We got to spend a lot of time together. She would get bored when I had too much work to do. She'd attack my pencils and bite off the erasers until I spent some quality time with her. When you have a rat asleep in your shirt pocket... life is good.
