Default Re: My Hamster died and I still have no idea :(

That's a good point lucyeleanor. It isn't worth the risk and to be honest cats don't actually have much impact on the rat population. Rats are too large for them and a well fed cat won't need to hunt anyway. Rats are well used to cats around and don't bother about them these days.
If you are moving house as well it would be better to wait and find out if there are any issues at the new house before taking on any more pets.
