Animal Companions Lead the Way to a Loving World
The Family Love Between
A Cat
and A Rat
By Brother-initiate Ar Sen, Formosa (Originally
in Chinese)
It’s been known that cats and rats
can’t get along just as water and fire can’t be mixed. Only
in cartoons or movies, can we see the scenes when they stay together harmoniously.
However, in the real world in Changchun City, Mainland China, there is
a cat and a rat living together in peace. Moreover, the cat allows the
rat to cuddle in its arms and sleep, raising a few eyebrows of people
who see them.
A while back, a person named Xiao Li
from Changchun had a headache due to a rat getting into the middle of
the window panels in his house and refusing to come out. The rat was so
ferocious that no one could get close to it. As a last resort, Xiao Li
turned to his friend’s cat named Big Yellow. He borrowed the cat
and let it stay hungry overnight in order to sharpen its hunting skills
and chase out the rat.
The
next day, as expected, as soon as Big Yellow entered the middle of the
window panels and came face to face with Little Gray (name of the rat
given by Xiao Li), its eyes were alarmed with green lights, its whiskers
stood up, and it murmured a “miao woo” sound. Little Gray
was so scared that it immediately retreated into a cardboard box, only
showing its head to look at Big Yellow. Big Yellow quickly jumped over,
caught Little Gray and dragged it out. To everyone’s surprise, Big
Yellow showed no intention of eating Little Gray. On the contrary, it
turned to Xiao Li and made a few “miao” sounds as if to complain:
“This is not my food!”
Until today, the couple, Little Gray
and Big Yellow, lives together in harmony. Now and again, Little Gray
gives Big Yellow kisses, maybe to show its gratitude to the cat for not
killing it. Big Yellow is also very generous with Little Gray letting
the rat cuddle and sleep in its arms, thus making a rare scene of a loving
family of a cat and a rat.
The above-mentioned stories reveal that
no matter where we travel today, the power of love is growing stronger,
beyond all limits of the imagination, joining even the most unlikely beings
in friendship.
