While a housecat’s traditional role has always been to catch mice, one adopted feline in Chile is changing things up—by befriending one of the rodents.

Simon, a 2-year-old black cat was first found at a gas station as a weeks-old kitten before being adopted, and was recently spotted hanging out with a mouse that was squatting in the cat’s new owner’s house.
