about

Rat was the son of Rat, by Rat - one of a litter of 5 males and 6 females, whose names, respectively, were Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat and Rat.

Rat was a truly remarkable rat, beyond doubt, the rat of his generation.
As is the nature of rats, Rat grew up very rapidly, and was soon wondering about the nature of life. Having become a master of the maze, he made it his life's purpose to inspect every facet of life and the universe.
Rat is known mainly for developing the theory, and refining the practice, of the domestication of humans. He was the first to observe that domesticated humans do have a limited number of primitive emotions, the most important being loyalty. This seminal work was later further developed by his great-grand-daughter, Rat, who showed that, with training, humans could even display love at the most basic level.
It is pertinent to point out that Rat was widely travelled – he explored, not only the entire building in which the lab is housed, but also a large part of the surrounding grounds, and even visited some sewers and other interesting constructions.
He was a gifted intellectual, lived a long and fruitful life (almost three and a half years), was the progenitor of several hundred descendants, and will be remembered by ratkind until the end of the laboratory.

Rest in Peace, Rat
