Mice and rats are gross. But frankly, nothing is worse to me than cockroaches. I would die if I had to lived an invested home. It is a real phobia I have.

I've never thought of mice and rats as gross. Personally, I find them very cute — certainly much cuter than many breeds of dogs. Hamsters and gerbils are in the same muridae family and many people keep them as pets. Actually, mice and rats also kept as pets.

I think mice and rats are cute and real intelligent as well. Cockroaches are just nasty.
I’ll admit, alligators can be cute when being fed raw meat.
