I truly doubt this. I suspect this is just speculation.
To start with, rats and mice have been with people forever, and are known for their extraordinary ability to travel, survive and procreate in the most extreme of places.

They're called "tarabagan" out in the eastern steppes, and are generally believed to be the original source of the
Y. Pestis pathogen. The fleas which actually spread the disease lived on a variety of (usually) rodent hosts.
In the American Southwest, bubonic plague is spread by fleas carried by native small rodents.

The disease may have started with gerbils, but it spread to rats, and the rats aboard ships almost certainly carried the infected fleas west to Europe. Another problem is that the vector in Europe was most likely the black rat which lives in the upper part of houses and buildings. The gray Norway rat is a cellar and sewer dweller and probably not as big a danger to people should it be infected by fleas.

This may be true, but rats are still troublesome creatures...

Regardless of exactly which species of rodents were involved, it all comes down to ailurophobes.
