I like Rat. He says the things I want to say but am too cowardly to do so. Not only that, without Rat, this strip wouldn’t be the wildly popular thing that it is. It would be funny, amusing, but it would have no edge. That edge is what makes it.
Since Bob isn’t putting out rat poison and large traps despite Rat’s horrible behavior, I’d say he’s a pretty good neighbor to have. And, no sniper rifle despite all the weird animals in the area. Bob is a saint!

Maybe you should give him real estate listings for the other side of town.

Actually, neighbor Bob was willing to try the list of suggestions if Rat would do Bob’s very short list.
Rat’s to improve relations list:
#1. STOP BEING.

I was pretty sure the onus would be on Bob.

It’s too bad that Rat, in panel 3, didn’t have a broken nose; that would be an improvement in his look.

Hey, Bob, remember that time you got Rat’s Visa bill by mistake? The next time that happens, you know what to do!

You should’ve tried it out first to see if it works, Rat!

A little more diplomatic approach would help Rat.

And Bob’s list to Rat would be: MOVE…

Bob can’t be all that bad, at least Rat didn’t require the services of a proctologist when he returned home.

’Looks too late for Bob, to me. Old neurons are like they looked directly into the eyes of the Gorgon.

Hey, he handed it back to Rat. Rat should take the hint.

Meh. Doesn’t matter, Rat. We have learned from experience that Neighbor Bobs are expendable and replaceable…..
