A busy day of hunt-and-chase seemed to be the last thing on this moggy's mind as he allowed a little mouse to walk all over him. (First the Royal Navy goes soft on us, now this.)

Normally when cat meets mouse, you can guarantee the outcome of a contest that should be about as onesided as Manchester United against Torquay United.

Maybe he's just got too much of our gene pool in him. Then again, he could just be a vegetarian . . .
