Wild Rat Has Epic Stand-Off With Cat @beastplanetchannel

A wild rat had an epic stand-off with a family's pet cat after it wandered into their front yard. Nong Mikun, 14, heard her pet feline, named Taohoo, hissing at something outside the house in Ang Thong, central Thailand on Monday afternoon.

She thought the cat might be fighting with his brother, Taojiew, but when she went to separate them she saw Taohoo was playing with a bandicoot rat. Footage shows the cat chasing the rodent across the tile - but it was afraid to strike as the rat appeared to be ready to fight back.

Cat wasn’t hungry. He was curious and his instinct to be interested in small rodents kicked in. Rat knew that if he turned his back on cat and ran away that the cat would chase and grab him. Rats are pretty clever; he knew his best shot was to keep his back to a wall and fight back.

It sounds like squirting shampoo out of a bottle that's 80% empty

Cat is learning the tutorial but the rat is fighting the final boss

That rat's like, 'Leave me alone!! I just wanna go home, man!!' 🤣

Cat is like "I know I should be doing something but I have no clue as to what"

[ForgottenKnight]

The rat is breathing just like me before a test :)))

That’s a brave rat right there ! Fighting for his life

[scottish_lunatic]

i love how the rat is constantly in a defensive pose meanwhile the cat is wondering if that thing is even a threat

[xbulsara]

Somehow the rat knows that running is not the answer.

I WASN'T AWARE RATS CAN BREATH SO HEAVILY.

After watching all of it the cat just needed to play the long game because that rats heart wasn't far from exploding.

The cat just wants to play & the rat is fighting for its life!

[GeorgeWeeman]

For all the people who are surprised in how brave the rat is, has never been to New York City!

The mouse is in no danger. To the cat it's nothing more than a toy. Hunting is something the mother cat has to teach. This cat isn't a mouser.

Lol I just like how the cat is just looking at him like he's crazy 😂

Not a stand-off. Just a curious cat and a very scared rat.

[JL-mtry]

I have never seen a rat defend themselves to the extent that this one did

[GeorgeWeeman]

The cat was patiently waiting for the rat to tire itself out. I wonder if he eventually got his prey.

I can hear the rat’s desperation and anxiety 😢 It’s literally fighting for its life against a giant. I’m glad the cat wasn’t hungry.

Cat: Bro i don't want to fight!
Rat: FIGHT ME YOU COWARD!!!!
