interesting picture dog cat mouse - thoughts?

Question

Ok, so I'm bored and decided to look up 'dog and cat' in google images, and obviously came across many, but this one really caught my attention:

What do you think about this picture?

I myself at first thought it was both cool and weird, but now I think its, well, a neat idea, assuming that the poor dog's back is not strained with the cat and its paws (and indirectly, mouse) on it. I love seeing animals together so I like this picture even though I think it defies the natural instinct of cats (to chase mice and eat them) and that of dogs (to chase cats for fun). Starting to think of 'Tom and Jerry' but I don't know whether cats and mice really have that love-hate relationship much in the actual world. As for dogs and cats, I've seen dogs chasing cats, but I've heard its just for fun and they don't actually harm the cats.

Maybe I'm overanalyzing this, but I love observing animals and their behaviors. Then again I'm weird, lol

Answer 1

This is not a "natural" behavior...its a learned technique. Cute though!

Answer 2

Before I saw the picture I thought 'bound to be doctored' but if it is, it's been done pretty well! I like it.

The mouse on that cat's back is in fact a white rat, it's huge.

I don't think the weight of a cat and a rat is going to harm a dog's back, unless they live there :-)
