Rats definitely need a better PR team, they are much more pro-social animals than mice or hamsters, which from a human perspective does make them seem a lot more sympathetic. You really shouldn't keep a single rat as a pet, it will become lonely and depressed unless it has another rat to live with. It's even possible to introduce rats to others from outside the same litter and eventually integrate them, which is a big contrast with Hamsters, which can never be kept in the same cage because they will brutally kill each other.
