This is fucking precious.

As someone who adores rats, I absolutely hate how short their lives are. I'd love to keep some as pets but I couldn't emotionally handle having my heart broken every 2 to 3 years when one of them dies.

It will never stop making me laugh that a rat on the BC/Alta border goes one way getting to be "adopted" and taught to drive a tiny car; or goes the other way and every single person would risk their life to swerve into and run over it with a full sized one.

While cute, we as humans need to stop teaching smart animals how to use our tech. We are basically asking to be replaced at this point. haha
