The Cat and the Mouse
Cats stir strong emotions; people either adore them or the opposite. Their involvement in superstitions and sayings is notable, such as the ‘cat-and-mouse’ play, highlighting their complex relationships.
The phrase ‘play cat-and-mouse’ embodies toying with someone before harm. Yet, an exceptional cat and mouse (or rat) pair challenge norms, becoming rare best friends, even more unique than the goat-sheep companions.
