“I welcomed Perseya into my home when she was just a little ball of fur. Coming from a long line of expert mouse hunters, she was raised to fend for herself by catching rodents for food. Many were skeptical about my choice of adopting a cat with such skills, worried that she would rid the house of all the rats,” shared Irina.

Even though she came from a lineage of rat-catching cats, Irina opened her home to Perseya and welcomed her to live amongst her beloved rats.

When Perseya was adopted, Barsa, another cat, initially didn’t warm up to her. However, she found a friend in Kuzya, a rat who has sadly passed away since then.
“When I brought her home, she was just 2 months old and shared a living space with another cat named Barsa. Barsa wasn’t too thrilled with her presence, showing aggression by growling and hissing. Luckily, Perseya found an unexpected friend in Kuzya, the most intelligent rat I’ve ever owned. Kuzya took Perseya under his wing, forming a strong bond between them. Sadly, Kuzya passed away a month later.”

Irina then decided to introduce a 1-month-old rat named Filya into the household, and to everyone’s surprise, Perseya immediately took on the role of a nurturing parent to the new addition.
“In early January of 2022, I welcomed a tiny rat into my home, naming him Filya at just one month old. To my surprise, my other rat, Perseya, quickly bonded with him and took on a motherly role. Filya showed no fear and enjoyed romping around with Perseya’s toys, particularly a fish-shaped teaser toy. The playful chase between the two of them brought endless joy to our home,” Irina revealed with a smile.

Irina shared a story about the time she accidentally left the rat’s cage unlocked and Filya got out. He ended up spending the day hanging out with the cats, having fun playing with them, munching on their food, and even sipping water from their bowls.
One morning, in my rush to leave for work, I accidentally left the rat’s cage unlocked and Filya made a run for it. He ended up spending the whole day with the cats, frolicking around, munching on their food, and sipping water from their bowls. When I got back home, I was greeted by a chaotic scene – Filya zooming around while the cats were chilling on the beds.

According to Irina, Filya is now 6 months old and has become inseparable from Perseya.

Barsa shows no interest in Filya’s affection. Lately, Filya has begun to show Perseya some love as well, snuggling up to her and burying himself in her fur, occasionally even causing her to purr.
