You would be forgiven for thinking that cats and mice are forever destined to be enemies. Think of traditional cat-and-mouse pairings in the media – Tom and Jerry, Itchy and Scratchy – and the idea of undying enmity between the two recurs again and again. For those of us wholive with a kitty, the dead mouse “presents” they occasionally leave outside the back door may be an all-too-familiar sight.
However, Paul Mealey, a cat guardian in Ireland, was recently astounded to witness his kitty Lala making friends with a wild mouse. He observed the two playing together for twenty minutes, and knew he just had to document the incredible sight.
