It wasn't a pet dog or even a cat that stunned her into silence.So, what was it that shocked her so profoundly? "I was a bit gobsmacked today in the queue in a coffee shop.

The young woman in front of me was wearing a baby sling, and out crawled a pet rat, which ran up and down her arm and had a good sniff about," she shared on Mumsnet.

The woman conceded that the rat "didn't poo, wee, bite anyone or run on the countertops," but she confessed to feeling really "creeped out" by the rodent being there.She expressed: "Rats are not what I am expecting in an establishment serving food.
