1. Chef rat, Kingdom Hearts III

Now we’re getting somewhere. Remy from Disney’s rat chef movie Ratatouille makes an appearance in the action role-playing game Kingdom Hearts III as the “Little Chef.” He guides spiky-haired Sora in making tasty meals for his successful French bistro.

How nice is this rat? This is a passionate rat entrepreneur with an advanced palate. He pulls on Sora’s hair to direct his cooking, but it’s with the gentle steering of a parent or mentor. Little Chef is kind, and likely thrilled about our current summer squash season. 10/10

How stylish is this rat? He could use a signature sneaker or scent or something. But you know these chef-types, always working on their menu instead of on their skincare. Operating a bistro requires its own sense of cultural know-how anyway, so Little Chef can still get a 7/10.

Is this rat free of disease? I don’t think they’d let him own and operate a restaurant if he weren’t, let alone get in the kitchen without a hairnet. 10/10.

Best friend score: 9/10. I can’t believe I’m finally saying this…but…this rat is now my best friend.
