Other relatives[]
Rat doesn't seem to like any relatives as he said the only thing that's worse than not spending thanksgiving with his family, is spending vacation with his family. One year he brought a massage girl with him, to relive the stress. His family treated them poorly, so to make it up to her, Rat invited her to play Trivial pursuit. However, Rat's family appeared to act much like him, cursing, accusing/defending in a crazy manner, and threatining to throw the card box.
