How many people are missing their pet rats?
I was to the bathroom on the 3rd floor of NCL sunday at about 9:00am, when I saw a white and black rat curled up against someone's door. It occurs to me now that no undomesticated rat looks as cute as that rat did, so I figured I'd put the word out now in case someone is looking for it. Not there anymore unfortunately, but you could start looking around the NCL-320s
