While your turret skills are admirable, I'm most impressed by your ability to keep a rat alive in a house with four dogs and ten cats.
Please post a build report for the scale model of Fort Knox that you must have built for the rat!
The rat "Baby" lives in my late wife's bathroom, my wife set up a 'poo box' full of wood shavings that I change once a month, there's an exercise area with various rat-ercising devices, a food area with water to drink, a large pan for baths and dried cat food.
Once a week I bring in a special treat tray with dried blueberries, a few cashews, some chicken, lettuce and tomatoes, celery - no onions, not good for rats.
She's a very tidy rat, not much to clean up after since she uses her bathroom and never goes anywhere else!!! (Thank god). If I forget to bring the special treats she tosses stuff off shelves, etc.
When we were saying our goodbyes my wife made me promise to take care of the animals AND DON'T FORGET THE RAT she said with an "or else" attitude.
And on that note it's time to clean the litter boxes, check the water and dry food bowls, and get the mop 'cus someone threw up in the kitchen.... cats....
