CAT AND MOUSE MAKE NICE
|
his
is the story of a cat named Huan who used to chase and kill mice just like
any other feline. |
But that changed five months
ago when Huan found a baby mouse in a closet, and thought it was well,
the cat's meow.
Huan's owner, Charanai Nanoontum,
says Huan, which means "fat," and the mouse, which she's named Jerry, carry
on like mother and son.
Is it a case of opposites
attracting? Or just a couple of confused critters?
One things's for sure: Huan
and Jerry would never be mistaken for the cartoon characters Tom and Jerry. |

"When
Huan found Jerry, I thought she would eat the mouse as usual, but she didn't
-- love took over," Charanai says. "The cat protects the mouse from other
cats and dogs."
Jerry returns Huan's care
by periodically cleaning her paws. The two like to play together, sleep
together, and can often be seen lapping milk from the same bowl.
Charanai says her other
cats seem baffled by the pair's relationship. They probably think Huan
and Jerry should behave more like ... well, like cat and mouse. |
