Made me think of Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. It's a cute children's book by Pratchett where intelligent rats (accidentally enhanced by magic trash at the Unseen University) run "pied piper" scams on unsuspecting villages. I've loved this book for close to two decades now.
i love the little hammock. my rat, Stretch, only made it a year (he got a tumor and had to put him down). never got another after that.
they are so smart one day we'll life extend them and they'll just inherit our civilization
