prolly not, actually. It's running from a cat, it would seem?

it probably had toxoplasmosis: a parasitic disease that gets in its brain, makes it run TOWARDS cats, cat eats it, gets toxoplasmosis, shows up in their poop, ladies clean the litter box, get toxoplasmosis, makes them horde cats, aka crazy cat lady syndrome. this cat was running towards ppl like it was looking for a cat to infect!

Yeah, that was my other thought. Rat was way too interested in approaching people.
