Ratty is the colloquial nickname for the (obviously water-going) Rat in the story who is described as liking to mess about in boats, but is not a professional seaman. It is interesting to note none of the (gang or club) characters in The Wind and the Willows have regular jobs, all seems to be something of gentlemen of leisure in a sort of Holiday ( more in the British sense of vacation) Club atmosphere.The club or clique is all male. There are no important female characters, which has led to the assumption( also applied to Batman comics) that there are strongly implied homosexual motives. This is also true of Winnie-The-Pooh which used spelling errors as the dominant comedy device.

Ratty from "The Wind in the Willows" is a water vole who is charming, wise, and content with a simple life by the river. He enjoys boating and picnicking with his friends, and serves as a loyal and level-headed companion to the other characters. Ratty's deep connection to nature and the riverbank is central to his character.
First of all it is two words, a noun clause- water rat. He is always or often referred to as Ratty ( which is generally a derogatory adjective- I have heard people say- such and such is a ratty old car). ALL of the main characters in Wind in the Willows are MALE and seem to be adults. There are no female characters or love interests- which brings up the possibility of homosexual amours.
