Rat on subway in New York City

Duh. No kept animal is going to bite its keeper because the keeper is providing food, shelter, comfort, and company. Basic animal instincts that even humans live by. Give a snake a mouse and it is not going to bite you because it knows you are the provider of the mouse. It wants the mouse, not you.

I thought the rat looked a bit tame and was looking for a way out. Poor thing. Personally I am not that afraid of rodents. I had a pet ferret for about 5 years - he was really sweet and played with my cat since she was a kitten - they learned to play together and did not hurt each other. He was grown and she was a baby - so when they were both grown, she did not hurt him although she was bigger than him. It was sweet to see the interspecies play...the understanding. Personally I think mice are very cute and intelligent creatures. Rats also (although not as cute as mice - I hate the testicles on male rats)... I have sat and watched a mouse come and get cat food from my cat's bowl, and made sounds to him, and watched him get freaked out and go back to his hole - it was funny. I thought he was cute. If I could have tamed him, I would have.

That's silly. Animals kill zookeepers all the time.......how about the woman who was mauled by the monkeys her friend kept. Can't remember where but Oprah did a show on her she has no hands or eyes now. Denver zoo had a jaguar that killed the zookeeper that fed it everyday.

Animals are animals. You may think at times you have bred or trained out their natural instincts and that you are the best animal trainer whisperer ever.............and then they show you otherwise.

Learned his lesson the hard way......
