Playing Cat And Mouse Literaly
Updated : Jun 10, 2009
A Chinese families plan to rid a mouse from their home backfired when a cat they borrowed from their neighbour actually befriended the mouse.
Mr Li, of Changchun in north east China, was annoyed by the mouse which had sneaked into his house through a broken window and subsequently tried by employing his neighbours can. But its seems, unlike Tom and Jerry, the pair have become bosom buddies.
Li came up with the idea of borrowing his neighbour's cat, Da Huang, after paying them a visit.
To make the cat more enthusiastic for the task, Li asked his neighbour to starve the cat overnight before he borrowed it.
The next morning, Da Huang caught the rodent but let it go after smelling it - and to Li's surprise the mouse then started attacking the cat.
"Da Huang neglected his duty. He just pats the mouse off and after a while they just started playing together. Now they are friends and the cat even cuddles up with the mouse to sleep," he said.
He believes the cat's normal diet of chicken liver has left it too spoiled to eat mice.
VeryHappyPig wishes people would stop eating pigs and show the same affection for us swims that Da Huang did for the mouse!
