Here is the question:
The cute cat is playing with a rat. How is that possible?

Here is the answer from ChatGPT:
It is not common for a cat and a rat to play together as they are natural predators. In the wild, cats hunt and kill rats for food. However, in some domesticated or controlled environments, cats and rats may be introduced to each other and can become familiar with one another, leading to a less aggressive and potentially playful interaction. It is important to note that this should always be done under close supervision to ensure the safety of both animals.
