how would the companions react to sole adopting a few rats?

Honestly, I don't think they'd mind that much. For the rats, I'm going off with the ones in Far Harbour or something similar. I'm sure some have seen Molerats as pets before so nothing too dramatic of a change. Yeah, them having either light peach fuzz all around them or having patches of fur on the rats is a bit different than usual and they're a lot smaller, but it's all normal to them.
I think out of all of them MacCready would actually like the rats the most. He'd play with them, carry them around, or even have one on his shoulder. The rats like to steal toys and treats from other rats, making the rats chase to get them back. Whenever something like this happens MacCready loves watching the chase and simple "fights."
I also think Hancock would like them, to a degree. One or two rats at a time are the most he can handle. He just prefers to either sit down and play with them or just watch as they play and scurry around. He loves giving them food too. Giving them food or treats and seeing them run to hide and eat while others try to take the food back is absolutely hilarious to Hancock.
Strong though, he has to be, and I mean *has* to be monitored when holding and playing with the rats. It's all fine and dandy, holding and petting them, up until he wants to try and eat one. Just have a water spritzer around, and if Strong tries it just spray him and he'll be too shocked and confused to fight to keep his chosen rat snack in his possession.
Honestly, though, Cait would probably be the one most hesitant with the rats. She's fine looking and being around them. She'll even pet one a bit when someone is holding it. As soon as the rat tries to get her is when it shows she's not a big fan. Cait jumping away and backing up from it is pretty funny.

They come to Vegas chasing penny-ante dreams of high living, to feel like they're big-shots, like they're winners. You see that you and I are of a different stripe, don't you? We don't have to dream that we're important. We are.
SHUT UP! My dad is Robert Edwin House, President, CEO, and sole proprietor of the New Vegas Strip and he can tax you into poverty

More Obscure Facts About Fallout 4 Companions*
*Now with slightly more unverified psychoanalysis!
X6 gets anxious at the thought of large crowds.
Codsworth likes to imagine being a father to a little robot son. Hang on, buddy, I’m getting my six hundred pounds of scrap metal out of storage.
MacCready seems to have lived in Bigtown for some period of time, or at least visited enough to have memories there. Also, the Lone Wanderer (or one of their companions/Sidney) told him about their encounter with Button Gwinnett.
Despite having little empathy for the people of the Commonwealth, Cait often becomes distressed imagining the victims of the bombs, especially when children are involved.
Danse believes that pre-war healthcare and scientific research should have been publicly owned. He hates corporations in general, especially Vault-Tec.
Nick not only loves poetry, but he’s also able to recite several famous poems such as Ozymandias and The Raven. He’s very sad to see destroyed books at the library.
It’s been confirmed by a non-Deacon source that he spent a month as a ghoul. (Somehow.) NPC dialogue implies that he was telling the truth about disguising himself as a woman for awhile, too.
Apparently Piper was a complete nightmare as a child. She would steal her dad’s pistol, shoot the combat inhibitors off robots, and let them run through town.
There’s some sort of debate in the fandom about whether Curie was originally a Miss Nanny or a Mister Handy, but she confirms in dialogue that she was a Miss Nanny.
Nick can feel pain! :(!
Deacon likes molerats, hates killing them, and wishes he could domesticate them. He should visit Sloan.
A probably incomplete list of things Danse wishes he could do: Fishing, watching a movie, playing/watching baseball, seeing a show at an amphitheater, bowling, shopping
TBH I was wrong on the last post. Preston doesn’t like swimming, his dialogue is tagged as sarcastic there. In my defense, he’s got depression and tends to speak flatly. That means that not one single companion likes to swim, except Strong who doesn’t care.
Despite maintaining there’s a difference between robots and synths, Nick believes in robot rights and often encourages robots not to think of themselves as slaves.
