Today, I found out two of my rats are pregnant. The breeder told us that all of them were male, only one ended up being male. I now have 20+ rat babies on the way and no idea how to take care of them. FML

Today I opened the door for my cat and he brought in a rat with him. Now the rat is hiding in my house. FML

Today, my dad killed my pet rats. They were playing on the sofa, and he thought they were vermin. This would have been understandable if the reason he came over wasn't to meet them, and they hadn't been wearing bright pink walking harnesses. FML

Today, my hamster gave birth. The babies were very cute and I couldn't resist petting one. Apparently touching a baby hamster will cause it's mother to reject and devour it. I am now know in my family as "The Hamster Slaughterer." FML

Today, I was cleaning off my couch so my nephew could crash here for a few nights. It's been so long since we've sat on it that it is now inhabited by rats we didn't know were in the house, including newly-born ones. FML

Today, I found out the animal that was gnawing behind the kitchen wall all night was indeed a wild rat and his entire family. FML

Today, our rodent problem was taken care of. I discovered this when my cat projectile-vomited a soggy, death-scented wad of dark fur and tiny organs onto the couch. FML

Today, I had to explain to my 22-year-old boyfriend that mice do not grow up to be rats. FML

Today, my hamster had babies. I came home just in time to witness her kick the mutilated bodies of her two babies out of her house, then crawl back in and go to sleep. Now my sister refuses to touch her and calls her a "baby-eating demon." FML

Misread the FML as "rabies" and was confused for a long time until I read the comments.

Because they're adorable. They're like mini cat/dogs. They groom themselves constantly like cats and play with their owners like dogs do. I've had two boy rats since March 2013 and they're absolutely amazing pets. Rats are very intelligent and can learn many tricks, are able to be litterbox-trained, and actually bond with their owners. It's hard to believe, I know, but pet rats are simply not the same as sewer rats. Message me if you have any questions :)

Because they make great pets? I own 4 of them and they're the sweetest little bastards ever. Until it hits 3am. 3am is "run around the cage and eat food really loudly" time.

YDI for 2 reasons. 1. Having a pet rat. and 2. Allowing your pet rat to roam around outside its cage. EW!

Yuck, you mean some sewer rat ****** your sister and got her pregnant? Disgusting! I'd rather watch the Donkey Show than see that! No pics, because I don't believe it's not fake.

This can mean only one thing: one of the men in your house is a rat-******! Does your dad check out your rat's ass a little too much (because he gives a rat's ass)? Does your brother have beady eyes and that wispy, ratty mustache and wears a rat-tail? Do you have a pervy, old uncle who keeps showing up for Monday Night Football long after the season ends? You may have to resort to enhanced interrogation to find the culprit, but once you do, have no mercy on the rat-******!
