*Make sure to keep the cats away from the rat as long as it's a baby. Also, try to get them to know eachother under supervision. And don't leave them alone in a room if the rat is out! *Rats are cheap. I've got three, and I've figured out that the cost for three rats/one month is less then $10, as long as they don't need to see the vet and you get economy size packs of everything. BUT you really should get atleast two since they are pack-animals and becomes healtier and happier if they have a same speices-companion. *Rats are very smart, and you can teach them tons of stuff. To come when you call is a good thing to teach them. But you can teach them all kinds of stuff, and they love agility (just like dog-agility but with much smaller stuff). Some country even has bomb-rats instead of bomb-dogs at the airport (I don't remember wich, I think it's indonesia or somewhere around there).
Also, think about wich sex you want. Females are more active while males generally becomes calmer and cuddlier when they grow up. But on the other hand, male rats have balls hueg liek x-box, so it's an estetic question as well.
