Rats are not filthy creatures. They groom themselves for hours every day.

But what about Bubonic Plague? The rats did not cause this - it was the fleas on them that did the trick.

And their reputation of being filthy? It's our fault. We carelessly drop rubbish on streets, and the rats scavenge around for them.
