No. Nowhere does it say the rats wear finery. You are turning them into objects of ridicule with your anthropomorphism bit. Shame.
Not @ all - there are rats & then there are rats.
It's 2021CE. The mechanisms of infection from vectors for Bubonic Plague & etc. have been well understood for centuries now. If people insist on commingling their lives with Rodentia - well, the rodents themselves are hardly to blame, are they? & of course, rats are immune - as they are to so many human charges - to accusations of shame.
Who does that leave? Objects of ridicule indeed, but you've misidentified the targets ...
Eww… today I was by 7th avenue and west 19th street and saw two dead rats: one on the sidewalk and another on the driveway getting flattened by traffic. The dead one on the sidewalk was in front of a sidewalk restaurant and I couldn’t understand why the owners didn’t bother to clean it up. I mean it’s nasty to clean that up, but who wants a view to two dead rats while having a chicken quesadilla?

A legume impersonating a snobby roaring twenties gent is pathetic. It’s cultural appropriation at its climax.
That's ascribing human qualities to the legume. The ascription was by other humans, presumably to give some Élan vital to the lowly plant. & the logo was created in 1916 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Peanut).

I hear Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben had something going until Mr. Peanut wedged in
there. Aunt Jemima wasn’t impressed with Mr P’s credentials.
