I want to be kind to animals, after all

I want to save this rat, but it's physically heavy and has a lot of centrifugal force. Also, when it's moving straight, it doesn't sway much sideways, and its form is pretty round, so I often can't quite dodge it. I've decided to just think of it as a fat rat. Of all places, the Medusa stage has rocks flying constantly, so a chubby rat is basically impossible to avoid. Plus, the snakes feint at you head-on, and before you know it, you bump into them. It happens with people too, but what's with that uncomfortable feeling from those movements? For now, I'll just have to tell the rat to work hard on its diet.
