    • Thank you and you did a fantastic job of answering the questions. Good to know you find them cute. They are but I wouldn’t keep them as a pet.

      • That’s a great score, Norman. Thanks for taking the quiz.
        That’s interesting. I have never eaten it though I have heard it tastes good. Thanks for confirming that though I’m not sure if I can taste rat’s meat considering how I react towards them when I notice them in my room – chase and kill them.

          • Hahaha…I understand how you feel by convincing yourself it wasn’t the rat. For instance, in my country donkeys are slaughtered including cats and sold as beef. I might have eaten any animal’s meat sold as beef. I convince myself it’s beef though there overwhelming evidence we may be eating other animal’s meat and not beef.
            However, it’s better not to be told what I have eaten.

    • That’s great, Vidocka. Congratulations. Yes, many people are scared of rats and mice. When I see one, my instinct is to get rid of them. I dislike them.
