It seems like everyone hates them, but they really are interesting and have contributed a lot to science and made good companions for people. So, are rats all bad? Easy answer, no. But that depends on what type of rat they are, and there are many that should be avoided. Like any animal, some rats are friendly, and others are nasty. But the rat is an enduring character, inspiring writers from Brian Jacques of the Redwall series and E. B. White in Charlotte's Web to cast them as nasty, icky villains or at least as unsavory characters. But then again, sometimes rats are portrayed as good characters, such as in Pixar's Ratatouille. In the end, a rat is simply an animal looking for food and shelter.
