It helps that we had rats before the cat, so the cat is kind of used to them and doesn't give us any trouble. Now I wouldn't leave them in a room unsupervised but the rats have no fear of her and the cat just ignores them when they interact. They have literally touches noses and the cat just lazily sits there like get this fucking thing away from me.
I would never trust my girl near a rat. My boy? Fine, he'd hang out with my skunk friend and probably groom him. The girl is a killer and has beat up multiple friend's dogs after breaking out of the bedroom. She knows how to open doors, changed levers to knobs and she still gets out
My cat is pretty dense. And lazy. We found her as a super skinny stray and I think she is to stupid to hunt properly.
If I didn't have cats I'd toats have rats
