Cats and Rats, cont.

Common sense tells you that cats and rats shouldn't mix. Yet somehow, Saké and Penelope have developed an understanding, if not a relationship. If Penn climbs up next to the cage, Saké comes right to the front and will grab Penn's furry paws, sniff her, etc. Saké never appears upset or agitated when Penn is around, only interested.

We shot this video last week and while nothing particular happens in it, it is a great example of how Saké behaves whenever Penn is around. She is relaxed, interested, and does not hesitate to interact with a big cat. I realize this is not behavior to encourage for a multitude of reasons, but it works for these two.
