Meanings - Rat

Rat - Intelligent and cunning, the rat personality makes a good entrepreneur. However, watch for a tendency to be quick-tempered and overly critical.

Without any confining breeding season, this highly fecund creature can produce thousands of offspring in a year. Its survival instincts have proven ferocious as it fights to keep other scavengers out of its territories.
