Rats don't live long, the first result on Google says that they live 2-4 years on average and the longest living rat in captivity lived to be 7 years old.

I like to think that after the rat's death everyone will treasure the good memories and start another restaurant of their own. But it's more likely that they'll be depressed and miserable for the rest of their lives without being able to tell anyone their story.

In a world where rats are intelligent beings capable of communication, who says the don't live like 10 or 20 years? It's fiction and, if not stated otherwise, you can believe whatever you want ;)

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
