I'm am old fart. Phones are for making calls. Phones are not computers. But apparently they are. ARG

You aren’t an old fart!
You’re only a couple of years older than me!

I’m NOT an old fart and my phone is MOST DEFINITELY a computer. (And it’s over five years old!) which-wow! Just thought of this- is a better lifespan than my last actual computer!

Male rates normally have a pair of torpedoes hanging under the tail. On one that size, they would be about 2 - 2.5 inches long and they are parallel to the tail, so to me it looks like it would be female. It's one of those obvious male/female differences that make me wonder how blind people are when they get unexpected litters, I mean,"one of these things is not like the others..." If it's a female with babies, the fur around her nipples will be missing, just like cats and rabbits do when they have litters they are nursing. Rolling it over will tell you everything you need to know. Most likely you have a colony somewhere, but unless there are a lot of snug areas under there, I doubt there's very many more there. It may be a female that just had a litter and is hiding them, or a young bachelor. We usually have a couple rats who take shelter in our garage during the winter, then leave again one the weather dried out a little and it warms up. We don't leave anything down there that constitutes food for them so they come in to stay out of the rain when they aren't out foraging. And yes, some have been 10 inches without they're tail, so they get big everywhere. They are normally Norwegian roof rats, and do not have large colonies unless there is a huge amount of space, and large amounts of food and water. Most of you don't have enough animals for a decent sized colony of them, but when one leaves, another usually scoots right in. Most of them will also be young, so a bachelor or female having her first or second litter.

Licking their butt in your lap isn’t cuddling

Right on - Texas Sam you left out the bit about them hissing, biting, and scratching their humans.

Don't even have any stuffed animal cats in the house. NO CAT ZONE !!!!

Plus you have to scoop poop no indoor poop animals allowed
