There's been some good reasonable suggestions about the name of Ratty, up there.
Yersinia was favourite for a couple of minutes, before I wondered if there were suitable Norwegian names (Rattus norvegicus). I briefly considered Sprague or Dawley, or even SPF, but then I heard on good authority (hello, Wodger) that s/he is is a desert rat. So I toyed with the idea of Ararat, or Shimon, before almost settling on Dot, short for Herodotus.
But late last night it struck me.
Ladles and gentlespoons, I present Monty.

a classic... is it short for Montgomery or Montmorency?
