Wow, there's a lot of interspecies-adoption going on lately (see under interspecies lovin'). This time a Chinese cat adopted a rat which she is nursing together with her four kittens...
The owner of the cat, 81-year-old Sun Shujun, says the rat has been living with her cat since the kittens were born four weeks ago.
Sun said a neighbour came to see the kittens on the day they were born and was amazed to see a rat suckling alongside them.
"At the beginning, I thought I must have seen wrong. So I took a flashlight and had a clear look," said the neighbour.
The rat not only drinks cat's milk, but also plays with its kitten 'brothers and sisters', according to the Qilu Evening Post.
Found at Ananova.

Indeed cute! I agree with you my dear. Maybe the cat feels like the mice are such 'yucky stuffs' to eat. ^^
