Ray the rat, pictured by Scott on one of his trips from the cage.
So we’ve got a loan of a couple of rats for a few days.
Scott: Yeah.
How are they?
Scott: Great.
What are they called?
Scott: Em… Ray and Steve. Ray’s the brown one that likes exploring and Steve’s the one that does basically nothing apart eat and sleep. I think we’re going to get on well with the rats, aren’t we?
I think so.
Scott: Yeah, you can say that.
What’s the best thing about them?
Scott: (holds nose) I can tell you the worst thing.
The smell?
Scott: Yeah.
The rats don’t smell at all – that smell’s their special Sunday dinner.
Scott: I know – it’s the cat food. Phew!
Luckily, they only have that once a week.
Scott: Will we still be able to watch TV with the rats?
Yes, as long as you’re quiet and don’t jump about.
Scott: I’ll try.
Okay, I think we’ll get on fine then.
Scott: Okay!
