It's not necessarily a bad thing to be an asshole, chicks like that sort of thing. Stomp on the damn thing in front of her. She will probably get turned on by your manliness and give you pie. Then to show her you have a sweet side too, buy her a puppy. She will be so excited that she'll forget about the rat.
Or buy her a puppy and tell her the puppy wanted to play, you let the rat out, but when you weren't looking, the puppy ate the rat. It's a freaking rodent. If you do pay for it, you owe Arfcom 1 man card. |

I think the bigger problem is you have a girl friend who likes rats. WTF?
 The real answer is a question: Would John Wayne be having this conversation? I think NOT.

Tell her spending the $$$ on a rat, with average lifespan of 3 years, isn't economically viable.

Don't waste the money.
My wife has had well over a dozen pet rats over the years. Almost every single one died from a sudden tumor. The tumors appear out of nowhere and take over their body within a couple weeks. She loves them but they usually die around the age of 2, almost always from a huge tumor. I was a little creeped out at first about the pet rats, but that passed. It's kind of weird seeing a rat act just as loyal as a dog. Always jumping up when you walk in the room, running over to you and laying down on or next to you. Took me a while to get used to them. Don't have any rats anymore because she couldn't handle the emotional stress of her beloved pets dieing every 2 years. |

100.00 really isn't that much to have something like a tumor removed.
Just to have someone look at my Chinchilla will cost me that much. That's without them doing anything! Heck 100.00 to have a cat or dog looked at isn't really that much. My chinchilla means a lot to me, I'd gladly pay 100.00 to help him out. He is my responsibility and I want to take care of him. Granted I don't think a rat is as intelligent as a chinchilla, but I'm sure the rat means a lot to her. |

I' do what my friend did in the med lab...accidentally give it an overdose of ethyl alcohol... He killed three rats in quick succession and pissed off the researcher in charge. Unfortunately those rats were worth quite a bit, as they underwent brain surgery(4hrs per rat) before the incident.

its not a question of happiness. it should be common sense. when a RAT is 5 bucks for a brand new one, why pay 100 for a sick one? if you do this to "keep her happy" your a puss. she knows she will own you if you do. its just a big test. you pay for it she owns you. you dont pay for it, you'll be standing up for common sense and refuse to be drug through the dirt |

As a child my daughter has had many pets. A few were even rats, they can be pretty cool pets sometimes.
Rats get tumors, it's like an unavoidable fact of life or something. Around our house I am called the 'Angel of Death'; rat gets tumor, tumor grows to point rat's quality of life is affected and the daughter says to me, " Dad time to put on your black Angel Wings and send 'Lucy, or Ziggy, or Penny' to a better place". Death is a part of life, shit happens and death can not be avoided forever. For a rat a BB to the back of the head works fine. Lastly, it's best if you pre-dig the hole, that way they don't have to stand around waiting to have their little pet funeral...

Wrap a bunch of gauze around it and rig up one of those collars so it can't chew on the bandage. Tell your girlfriend you took it to the vet and wanted to surprise her. The next morning, after she leaves, knock it in the head and tell her the stress of the surgery must have been too much. Rig up a real classy shoe box coffin for the win.
Now that I think about it, this could be the best idea I've ever had. Post pics, it will be an epic thread. |

Buy her a piece of jewelry instead.
She'll forget all about the rat tumor. Women, like most lesser creatures, are easily distracted by shiny objects.

No. It doesn't have to be that way. Because a guy spends $100 on his gf's rat doesn't mean she "owns" you. A real man knows a bargain when he sees it. Whats $100? Damn, there are a lot of cheap fuckers on here. If $100 got him a week of really nice bjs, would it be worth it then? |

"G/F's pet rat has a tumor, am I an ass for not wanting to pay $100+ to get it removed?"
If I was closer to NV I'd remove the rat for a lot less than $100. |

A single 22 round is much cheaper and effective.
So is a cat. So is a python. So is a size 13 shoe. So is the toilet. Well you get the idea. Just off the damn thing and buy her a new one. |

I guarantee there was a legionnaire who brought home a monkey when he returned from a campaign and he ended up dragging the damn thing all over Rome looking for a "monkey healer" because he woke up to find his kids crying and his wife pointing to a giant boil on the monkey's ass. Pay the $ 100. |

Bad investment. That thing is going to die anyway. The pain of surgery might just be too much.
Do a solem funeral and "cuddle" for a night. It's a lot cheaper. |

It's just a cat man, there's no way I'd pay $100 to have the tumor removed, complete waste of money. Oh wait, you said RAT. Yeah, I'd probably pay the $100 to keep the girlfriend happy.

Not everyone here likes cats (in fact, some advocate killing them  ), but that cat may be someone's pet, and they may wish to provide medical care for it if it were sick.It's $100 bucks, people buy flashlights for more than that. |

I can't get past the fact that she has a rat as a pet.
I'm guessing she's "freaky in bed" or a good cook...because for me, a rat as a pet would be a dealbreaker.  Willard!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry: Not only would I not pay to save it, I'd pay double to the exterminator to kill it. |

Admittedly, I am an advocate for animals. I prefer animals to most people.
Is the rat important to her? How important is her happiness to you? Why is she asking you to pay for rat surgery? I'm not a fan of rats, but to each his own. If she loves it, that's her thing. Not for me to question. |
