Cat and mouse become pals
A cat and a mouse have become unlikely best friends in China.
It happened after a man who owned a cat in Jilin city was given a pet mouse by a friend six months ago, reports the City Evening News.
Chen said: "On first sight of the little mouse, the cat was very excited and circled around the cage without stopping."
After watching him for several days, Chen felt the cat was not intimidating the mouse so he let the mouse out -and they instantly became friends.
"I would not have expected they could be friends, or be friends so quickly," he said.
The City Evening News says the mouse played with the cat continually, climbing onto its back and sitting on its head, while Chen was being interviewed.
An expert at a local pet hospital said that a well-fed domesticated cats would not necessarily see a mouse as food.
