I wouldn't mind having two rats but my cats would have a fit. I know two of them for sure would never give the rats any peace - would always be at their cage. Poor little rats - even if they didn't get a heart attack, their stress levels would be way up!
My kitties are already jealous of each other as it is. One can be on my lap & another doesn't know it & comes to cuddle. That one will stop in horror staring malevolently at the one on my lap & walk a short ways, sit with their back to me & let out a loud 'huff!' Sometimes whenn I walk into one room to do things, one of the cats will take up position just inside the room & 'guard' me so no one else can come near.
I've never known anyone else whose pets are so jealous of their owner's attention to the extent mine are. When I come home, all three are at the door, vying for my attention. I already do such a juggling act with my affections with these three. Silly creatures.
