    Actually they can be, but they should never be unattended together... and I don't understand how the bars of the cage were wide enough for a cat's paw but the rat couldn't escape...

    Re: cats and rats can never be friends

    it is a cat's natural instinct to hunt and be curious about other living creatures in its surroundings. a cat should never be left alone where it has access to other pets or animals that it would normally hunt. my cats don't seem to care about my rats but they are never left unattended in the same room with them. that's just asking for trouble.

    Sounds like you need a cage without bars on side. Cats will be cats
