My cats just stare at our mice if we have any in the house for feeding day. With rats, they treat them like equals. Not sure if any of you saw my post about the escapee rat we had that went missing. Turns out it was in our bedroom, sharing a water bowl with our cat! They were drinking side-by-side from the same water dish and the cat didn't even seem to notice this newcomer. Wierd little cat.
(To the one with the dog attempting to eat the mouse....my only question is this....why did you hit the dog on the head? I don't know about you but I never ever hit my animals. Now, I was not there and I don't know what you mean by hit. I could have been a tap, or it could have been an actual HIT, but using the word hit seems like you were a bit harsh towards the dog.)
