Animal abuse | It is possible to keep pet rats, if you have a cat ...

I would like to point out, at this point, I live with my 2 pets rats, peas and mingles, my dog, Charlie, a Maltese X Shitzu and mean Persian Cat, Dylan, a Ragdoll x. But despite his Ragdoll bloodline, Dylan case the hunting instinct and I would have on each never the rats out of the cage rat running around, while he is in the room. It is important to bear in mind that even if you select you a gentle breed such as a pure Ragdoll cat and by a cat they never with your pet rats should be left out.

A question I am asked much is whether possible for those who have a cat pet rats accept it. While there, that these few people who say that their cat no threat to their rodent of pals and like to pictures of their cat and rat is always well known, this is a very rare case and not as a rule be treated should.

It is possible to keep pet rats to have a cat, even though you are the back and weigh disadvantages your should before the adoption of new pets. 1. Separation ? you need in the location, your cat and rats easily be disconnected when your rats out should be allowed. This could mean taking a room as ratty rooms. The room is free of rat threats such as wires, sharp objects and small things which you to could suffocate. There are no small holes in the wall, which escaped the rats. I have also a lot of fun to explore tubes, boxes and even a rat swimming pool for them. Cats are usually good with this time and how long they have plenty of room and their food, water and waste containers to roam (and in our case a domestic companion) they will be fine.

2. Security ? you must 100% sure that your cage rat is safe. When we first our two rats pea and mingles the old accepted owner gave us their cage and it had a hole in. It was blocked a small hole and I with plastic boxes and tape, but I had the fright of my life when I found pea under the ground with Dylan the cat to fall. Luckily I took pea in the time and the rats since then to 100% sure (and big!) Cage have changed, but please lets not your pets get into this situation. Rats are notorious escape artists. Ensure that cage is the rat robust (can be not overturned) and that it to hide many areas for the rats from prying eyes.

3. You know better than any of your cat common sense ? but even if you want to be the gentlest cat of the world, which seems to be please very cautious friends with your rats, and never leave them unattended together. The rats tails are irresistible for most cats.

If you a cat and you are ready, put in some extra effort for the safety of your rats, then there is no reason why you had not rodent pets. However, make sure that you have more than a rat. This is always the best, as the rats can keep each other company, if they are rat in their cage. Even if you spend much time with your Council if you abroad or are asleep the rats can cuddle and play together and groom each other. Rats may sometimes fearlessly, but if you have more than a cat, maybe you should think about it, whether a rat is a good pet for you and your family. Add to that how the rats feel like all cats to investigate cage and trying to figure out ways you.

If you have decided to take some rats, sure take their welfare. If you have a child that asked for rats learn has some responsibility, but ultimately it is the adults to ensure the welfare of the animals and to make sure that the cats should pose no problem. I hope that this article has helped you work, whether rats and cats keep together for your family might work.

Good luck!
