Pussy Cat and Rat Friends in Cage

Ok, ive seen a cat playing fetch with a stick - and now it looks as if cats and rats can be friends. I think maybe it works that way in some movies - but i didnt think it would in real life. Cats and Rats, I'll be damned.

Wow, is this a rat farm? I hope this is not milk for general consumption. Why is the child allowed to play with the rats?
