Welcome one and all to Assumption City, last watering hole in the Grammar Barrens.

It’s all true. It was on the internets.
[sigh]

I agree…this is not funny in the least bit. Infact it is very disturbing. What kind of cat owner locks their cat up anywhere? Dont like how a cat acts? Then dont get a cat. Cat’s arent children, they dont understand ‘timeout’ and why theyre bring put in a dark closet, WINDOW or DRAWER (that better have been a sick joke, and not serious). I am disgusted at those who think this is ‘cute’

sorry, but i dont see what’s cute about this… a cat trapped in a tiny space with a disgusting rat?

might be, but i doubt it – look at the fur displacement where the ratty is kissing and cuddling him, that alone, if fake, would have taken forever! i’d say it’s real, real and weird as.

Cute! But it is so obviously photoshopped (having used the programme to do a few photo malinpulations myself) you can see the lighting effect is different for each subject (done art too ) and it’s *very* obvious in the third and forth picture.

Very well done though.

Aubrey, love the Shakespearean spin.

I’m sorry, but “calming” a cat by sticking it in a dark enclosed space is lazy and mean…yeah, cats like dark enclosed spaces, when they venture in voluntarily.

I still think its a degu. A degu looks like a cross between a rat and a gerbil.

Easy. Owner sees rat in window. Owner sticks cat in with rat, so that cat can do to rat what comes naturally. Domesticated, urban cat has no clue what to do with said rat. Rat does what rats do – investigate non-attacking things for food. Owner throws up hands and photographs results.

It is plausible that said rat and cat had made a nocturnal ‘peace treaty’ before the owner knew said rat was around.

I, too, keep scratching my head over this. The only way it can make sense is if the rat is a pet, but the rat looks filthy! My rats have always groomed themselves much better than this filthy fella! In fact, if they met this guy, they’d have pounced on him and held him down in an “I shall leeck you” moment, not letting go until he was scrubbed clean! Yes, rats do that, and the filthy “victim” often screams bloody murder during his bath. It’s quite cute, actually.
