Isn't that what Bill Murray warned against in Ghostbusters?

Well, that clearly works for rats, cats, and dogs, but would it ever never work for Mudcat?

I dunno... the look on that cat's face is something else... you can almost hear him thinking "one more time in my ear with the claws, just one more time and it's Goodnight Vienna!'

The most remarkably unnatural behavior is probably the cat's, in realtion to the rodent. Those kitties are natural-born killers in the state of nature.

The owner undoubtedly keeps all of those pets very well-fed.

JtS, thanks for the reference/reminder to Ghostbusters ;^)

I'm impressed that the cat actually licks the rat, grooms it. They must have all been raised together.

Cheerily,

I don't think they were, Charley. At least he said the rat came along, later, it seems. I have seen kittens who were raised by a mother cat who was friendly with mice. They grew up with mice and never did have the killer instinct. Of course, in nature they would, but it seems it isn't an absolute in domesticity. They do all look well-fed, though, don't they?

Seems there are a few other anomalies out there: CLick These ones even eat together: CLick again

Kat-

Well, it is kind of fun.

Our cats here don't seem to understand these vidios. Although the long-haired calico believes in catch-and-release.

Neat video, but did you see the comment by the person who knew the animals' owner? They owned an RV park, where he stole from the other campers. It seems the animals Play Well With Others better than the owner does.

=====================================================================
This guy is snowing EVERYONE! He stayed at my campground in his MOTORHOME last year. He stole from me and my husband (we're just a small family place). We fed him and let him stay for free. He stole from several of my campers. AND he stole my 12 year old son's new Mini-chopper that he bought himself. Even the Black Hills hat he's wearing in the video was stolen! The dog cat guy acts real nice, but he's a creep and will use anyone.

Ah, that's too bad. Wish it wasn't so...now I'll think of how he just uses the animals...though they do look fairly happy, I guess.
