Bring on the verMEN (and women).
All anyone can talk about is hot rodent men.
But that really cheeses us off.

Because in all this discourse about hot rodent men, who will squeak up for the hot rodents themselves?
Here are 16 RILFs (yes, it means exactly what you think it does).
Plus, Jaq rocks his little red turtleneck, jacket, and hat.

And if you prefer your rodents on the thicc side, then Gus Gus has plenty to offer.
I mean, c’mon, he has “rat” in his name!).
But there’s something even dreamier and more debonair about the vermin version of Sherlock.

Maybe we’re just a sucker for a rat in a dressing gown.
Plus with those Disney income streams, we bet he’s got plenty of cheddar.
Those big blue eyes, the way she makes that ratty cloak look chic.

She’s the Audrey Hepburn of squirrels, with her big brown eyes and her perfectly coiffed bushy tail.
We think Arthur should’ve just stayed a squirrel and run away with her because that kiss is swoon-worthy.

Timothy Mouse in ‘Dumbo’.Disney+
But he’s also wry, funny, and “here for the food.”
Pretty much the perfect guy.

Plus, he once held his own dancing with Gene Kelly that takes talent and pizazz.
We love a classic Hollywood rodent.

The name’s Mouse.

If James Bond were a rodent, you’d get Danger Mouse.
He leaves us both shaken and stirred.
But spare a thought for Father Sexton, a mouse of the cloth.
