LOVE RATS
"Star was happy to stay with me all day; gave me kisses on a regular basis; she was just a beautiful creature...
"I got more emotion and love back from Star than any of them...
"A fabulous, clever and very clean member of the family! Very sadly missed."
- C. Stockport

Studies on rats have been carried out at the University of Chicago.
The studies show that rats are kind hearted, generous creatures.
Professor Jaak Panksepp said: ''There is no question that all other animals have emotional feelings. The science is strong for that.''

The research shows that rats help cage-mates in distress and selflessly share their treats with them.
The research team say that empathy is not unique to humans.
Researcher Professor Mason said: 'When we act without empathy, we are acting against our biological inheritance.
'If humans would listen and act on their biological inheritance more often, we' d be better off.'
