This cat appears to have the upper hand on the mouse that he is chasing…

The cat and mouse game has been going for a few moments by the time the video starts. The mouse is behind an old radiator. You can’t really see the mouse at the start of the video. The radiator is grey and black and so is the little mouse. So he does have a bit of camouflage from our human eyes. The cat, however, knows the mouse is there and follows him as he moves along the radiator. Eventually the mouse runs out of radiator for him to hide behind. The cat actually manages to finally catch him. He uses one of his paws to snag the mouse and fling him out from under the radiator. You can’t quite see the moment happen but we do get to see how the mouse reacts.

But I could NOT believe how brazen and courageous this little mouse is!
