Bonding
The rats can be traded, but it needs to happen while it's IN the sack. When you GET the rat, there'll be a message about it adjusting to you, then you should be the new owner. It was already posted, but to repeat:
>get rat
>You pluck a stately Ilithic rat from a coarse burlap sack, the creature yawning as you wake it up.
>The Ilithic rat sniffs you warily, eyeing you suspiciously until it grows more accustomed to your scent and relaxes.
That last line is the rat recognizing you as the new owner.
Please note that taking the rat out of the sack should be done IMMEDIATELY on transfer to ensure the rat bonds to you as the new owner.

It will likely still look dirty or grimy, and would probably bite off your hand if you tried putting silly hats or bows on it.
You could probably get it to be less loud by THUMPing it, or you could make it more excited by POKEing it.
If you find the <adjective> rat is becoming too annoying, confine it to a designated rat sack.
