Cats and mice are often seen as enemies, but a video showing one of the little rodents running right into the belly of the beast suggests otherwise.
To clarify, the mouse doesn’t run down the cat’s throat and into its belly; that would just satiate the cat and fulfil the ‘enemies’ rumour. Instead, it ran towards the fluffy exterior of the cat’s belly, despite being chased by the feline just moments earlier.
Footage of the unusual scene was captured in the central Chinese city Xiangyang on Sunday, October 25, before being posted online where it caught the attention of social media users worldwide.

The video, shared on the Chinese social media site Weibo and by Xuanwo Video, showed the cat trotting after the mouse as if on the hunt. The mouse initially ran away, but switched to a new tactic by coming to a standstill, almost daring the predator to come closer.
