"Star was happy to stay with me all day; gave me kisses on a regular basis; she was just a beautiful creature...
"I got more emotion and love back from Star than any of them...
"A fabulous, clever and very clean member of the family! Very sadly missed."

Studies on rats have been carried out at the University of Chicago.
The studies show that rats are kind hearted, generous creatures.
Professor Jaak Panksepp said: ''There is no question that all other animals have emotional feelings. The science is strong for that.''

The research shows that rats help cage-mates in distress and selflessly share their treats with them.
The research team say that empathy is not unique to humans.
Researcher Professor Mason said: 'When we act without empathy, we are acting against our biological inheritance.
'If humans would listen and act on their biological inheritance more often, we' d be better off.'
