Cats And Wild Animals That Become Friends

Opossums And Cats

I have had opossums eat out of the same cat food dishes my cats eat. One older woman had a baby opossum in her home along with her pet cats. The opossum used the cat litter box and slept in the cat beds and her bed. She took her baby opossum to the Vet, where he had his shots and claws trimmed. He acted just like one of her cats and never tried to bite her. My outdoor cats would let them sleep in their heated cat houses in the winter months.

Raccoons And Cats

I have had many raccoons eat my cat food along with my cats. One raccoon bit my house cat on foot, and I had to bring her to my Vet for shots. Luckily, she had had her rabies shot and rec, covered from her foot bite. I never let her out of my house again after that incident. Raccoons can kill and eat your cats if they cannot find other food.

Skunks And Cats

Skunks and cats will share the cat food dishes, and I have never had a skunk spray my cats or me, thank goodness. I have seen skunks exit my cat building. I had one skunk that used to live under my deck, and she had her babies under the ramp. My cats never bothered her, and she never bothered them.

Mice And Cats

I have seen house cats hold a mouse between their feet to watch it and then let it run away. One cat had a pet mouse he would let sleep curled up in his hair at night. One male cat enables the mouse to eat and drink from his dishes. A family had three cats and one pet mouse. One cat loved the mouse, and the other two viewed it as a beautiful meal. The cat that loved the mouse made it his mission in life to save the life of his mouse friend at all costs, and he succeeded.

Birds And Cats

I had a cat that grew up in a house with parakeets before I adopted her.; I adopted a parakeet, and she dearly loved him. She would lay on the edge of the bed next to his birdcage and listen to him sing away every day. One day a cat came into our house that liked birds in another way, and my cat gave that cat a once over, and she never bothered her pet bird again. One crow fed a homeless baby kitten ground-up worms and saved the kitten’s life. I bet that kitten loved birds and protected them from other cats. I had an outdoor cat with a Blue Jay in her mouth, and I told her to drop it, and the Blue Jay flew away unharmed. I had one cat that grew up in a vet office, and he learned to like all kinds of animals.
