I think "rats" is likely to mean "coward" who run away when they have a problem. If some one, or some people run when difficulties arise, or when things get bad, they are compared to rats deserting a sinking ship. The rats only care for their own safety, and will not stay to help prevent the ship from sinking or to help others
