Tamable rats would be a good idea because there are no tameables that live in caves, and only one passive cave mob!
Rats could be tamed with bread, because seeds are a little too easy, and we already have chickens.
They would spawn as much as bats. Taming method would be like dogs.
Rat Appearance!
Rats would have a model based off of the silverfish model, but with a narrower tail.
Rats would have variants, like bunnies, except different variants whether they are tame or wild.
Rat Health!
They would have as much health as a bunny!
Battle Buddies:
If attacking was implemented, they would hurt half a heart. Sounds useless, huh? Not so. If you obtain many tame rats, they would fight like wolves. But instead of from one dirrection, they would surrond the target, so the damage of all the rats all at ounce would be deadly, but not Over-Powered, as they have as much health as a bunny.
Chest finders:
Rats could sniff out chests, and lead you to them. This would be useful for finding dungeons, etc. This would not be overpowered because it cannot find chest through walls, can through doors, fence, windows, ironbars, etc.
Thieves:
Rats could fit through spaces of 1/4 of a block, so stairs at certain rotation. Rats would have a gui. One choice would be thieving mode. In thieving mode they would go and steal six items from the nearest chest, then come back to you and sit.
Protectors:
Rats will start squeaking if a monster egg is within a 5x5x5 block radios of the rat. That way the player knows to be extra-careful.
Shoulder Riding:
You love your minecraft dogs with their effective attack and dye-able colors, and cute faces, and you love your independent felines that scare away creepers, but unfortunately lots of these pets, teleport into blocks, or lava, and die. When you open a rats GUI, you will have the option of shoulder riding, you can have a maximum of three rats riding you. One on your head, and one for each shoulder. With them on your shoulder, they cannot move, so will not be-able to teleport, but will still be close by, also good for monster egg finding.
By the way, Rats make Great pets! I have one! His name is Mr.Furry Face! He is my avatar, cute huh? Please don't be too harsh, this is my first thread!
Please suggest ideas! Everyone is welcome. Don't be afraid to suggest your ideas, I won't bite!
If you are against a certain idea, don't vote for it and/or tell me why.

Give me one good reason why they can't follow the player around.
Health Points?
Same as bunny
Purpose, I have a poll!
Sorry but the point of the thread is to state what they do. You can't simply ask others for ideas on YOUR post. But seeing as this is on of your first posts I guess you didn't know.
That said if you can come up with a good use for rats, I will consider supporting. Until then though, no support.

Why can't they follow the player around? Go on, find a rat in a cave and try get it to follow you, I dare you.
The purpose of a suggestion is to share an idea you would like implemented in the game, not to ask others what they think. They give you input on the information that you have given.

I also don't like your attitude.
Go find an ocelot in the jungle and try to get it to follow you, I dare you.
Go find a wolf in the forest and try to get it to follow you, I dare you.
Go find a herd of feral hogs foraging in a field and get them to follow you, I dare you.
Don't you see how ridiculous you're being? This is not an amazing thread but sheesh. These leaps of logic are already in the game and wouldn't even be that strange. It seems like you are just looking to find something to be negative about today.
I don't know when suggestions became "vote on this exact implementation of this exact thing" and not "let's float ideas and see if maybe Mojang would want to do something with that idea someday." If I called or filled out a survey for a business saying "Hey, I think you should have more checkout lanes open at once" they're not going to jump down my throat going "WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING THIS SUGGESTION BECAUSE IT'S TOO VAGUE AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US EXACTLY HOW MANY EMPLOYEES WE NEED, HOW MANY LANES SHOULD BE OPEN AT ONCE, HOW IT SHOULD BE DETERMINED, HOW MUCH WE SHOULD PAY THEM, HOW MANY HOURS THEY SHOULD GET, AND IF THEIR NAMES SHOULD BE JEFF, FRED, OR SARAH." They're going to take into account customer feedback, see if there are others saying the same thing, and determine the best way to implement it themselves.
Let's be realistic, it is very unlikely that Mojang will steal the exact HP, functions, balance, model, etc from any suggestion. It's more likely that they'd look at a number of sources of feedback saying "Hey, it would be cool to have more tameables, maybe rats?" and decide what would be the best way to implement that on their own. They are the game designers.
That being said, the best way to kill a thread that you don't like is to stop replying to it. You're just bumping this, even though you seem to hate it so much. If you have no ideas, just say "no support" and move on with your life. It is not your sole duty to come in and inform OP that his idea is crap. I'm sure there are at least 25 things you could be doing that are better than this.

The difference is, they'll follow you for a specific item you're holding in your hand, meat, fish and carrots; the OP has given little to on information about how you can get the rat to follow you, all that was said was "rats could be tamed with bread."
You get feedback on what you already have. People either like it, or don't like it, they can also give you suggestions on what could be added but making a suggestion thread to build a suggestion off of is not the right way to do it.
You obviously didn't read my replies thoroughly enough; I didn't say I hate it at all - I said it's vague. I would be willing to give my support if there was a sufficient amount of information about the suggestion, not just saying "do you guys think I should add option 1, option 2, option 3, option 4." All that shows to me is that the OP has put little effort into the creation of this thread.
My intentions were not to be harsh, but to be helpful, even if it does come off as a bit harsh.
I have to admit I don't see either how the addition of this new mob would be helpful to gameplay. The one thing that rats have even more than dog is the sense of smell... But what could they find?
After you tame them they can follow you! Till then there passive.
I don't know... Rats aren't poison-ness in real life, but there claws are pretty sharp. As stated above I have a pet rat, so I know about rats.
What could rats find... hmm... Oh! Chests of course! Rats are amazing at finding little crums in real life so why not chests, which after sitting in cave forever probably have a few crumbs, in minecraft?
And what is wrong with my attitude, I never said anything mean. If i did, I'm Sorry.
Here is another thing I would like to share.
I did NOT make this.
If you did, post so I can give you credit.
Oh and Thanks for the concept art, I like how supportive you are.
You eat rats! How could you there so cute!
I added hamster because someone on the pigeon thread suggested it, I agree it's dumb, but I want everyone to have a say.
They fight
They ride on your sholder
They sit
They could possibly lead you to chests.
Wolves already do most of that.
Leading you to chests is pretty overpowered. On SSP, you could find dungeons easily. On SMP, you could find hidden enemy bases easily.
I'd recommend something a bit along the lines of the poison thing I said earlier.
