Long Answer
1. Nicodemus plans to write a book about the rats and their colony some day, making sure that he and all the other rats’ work is remembered. The owl, on the other hand, has grown weary of his long life and plans to let the old tree he’s living in dictate the end of his life for him. This reflects the enhanced intelligence of the rats because Nicodemus understands he has much left to learn and offer the colony even in his old age, but the owl has no way to further enhance his life. (Various chapters)
2. The rats escaped from the lab once, and the scientists likely understand that they have no way to contain these super-intelligent and literate rats.
