Odd Couples- Rat Gives His Cat Best Friend The Sweetest Little Kisses When She’s Feeling Nervous

A gorgeous female orange tabby cat named Perseya and an adorable male rat named Filya have defied their instinctive adversarial natures and instead, became the best of friends. Their human Irina says they are completely inseparable from each other; in fact, she says that Filya is Perseya’s tail.

They love to play tag and can chase each other around the house for hours. …wherever she goes, he follows. I like to call him her ‘tail’ because he always needs to be close to her.

Filya also calms his feline sister down during times of stress.

Whenever he senses that she might be hurt or upset, he always comes to the rescue. … One time we were had to go on a quick trip. Perseya was feeling very nervous but Filya wouldn’t leave her side. He was giving her little kisses to calm her down. You could really see how thankful she was in the moment.

The little rat and orange tabby cat have recently been winning hearts on social media, where photos and videos show the two shattering the “Tom and Jerry” cat-chasing-mouse stereotype.

“She would always want to play with him, snuggle up under his fur and she even ate cat kibble from his bowl along with him.
