Perseya, a Russian orange feline, used to be a rat catcher. However, she ended up bonding with a pet rat named Kuzya and later with Filya, forming an unlikely but heartwarming friendship.
Once upon a time, cats were known for their wise and predatory nature, chasing small animals like mice, rats, and birds. But not all cats are the same, and some are trained to be rat hunters, especially in countryside regions. Perseya, a Russian orange feline, used to be one of those rat catchers, relying on hunting rodents for her nutrition.
Perseya’s training started at two months old, and she was abandoned when she became too efficient at her job. Despite already having a moggie named Barsa and a pet rat named Kuzya, Irina decided not to leave Perseya alone. But unfortunately, Barsa disliked Perseya and wanted to cast her out, leaving the orange feline feeling isolated and unwanted.
However, Kuzya, the smart rat, was there to comfort Perseya, and they quickly became best buddies. Their bond was so strong that it hit Perseya hard when Kuzya passed away just a month later. To console the grieving cat, Irina brought Filya, a one-month-old rat, into their home.
Filya was quickly accepted and loved by Perseya, and the two have been inseparable ever since. Despite their unlikely friendship, Perseya, the former rat catcher, has become the protector and caretaker of Filya. Their bond is a testament to the fact that true friendship knows no boundaries.
