I'm a bit confused, I thought most rats lived for 2 or 3 years so.. aren't they both "elderly" ?
18 Bright Siders Show the Bond Between Their Pets, and It’s Total Friendship Goals

The friendships between animals may seem like a myth, as it’s hard to imagine one as strong as that between 2 people, like a man and a woman. Sure, the latter may cause controversy, but animals can certainly be friends too. Fluffy, soft buddies who play with a ball, sleep, and mock their owners together are just a few examples of what we’re talking about. And if you think your pet will never accept a new animal into the family, we have some photographic proof to change your mind.
Bright Side readers shared photos of their animals who have a “purrfect” friendship. They love each other, show support, and treat each other well. And these relationships are simply the sweetest things in the world.
