Rot's are so mellow! Once had a rot/dobbie that was such a baby she would try to get in my lap when I was on the couch. Of course, she was about 100 lbs and 3.5 feet tall!!! Can't believe how mellow the rat is to lay there flattened out so the cat could lick him, when he was as free as he could want to be and just run away from them.
