Pet Rats! more info inside~?

its definatly a good idea to get female rats, they are far nicer than male rats. You dont really need to worry about the cats, i have had lots of rats and have never bothered by the cat, in fact the cats have been harmed by the rats, I would get a heavy cage so the cats and dog cant tip it over. And as far as names go, thimbleton, fatatooie, but it all depends on the rat.
