The video says that the cat is naturally docile. It has not been modified.

I guess that mouse will die happy.
or maybe even more interestingly, the cat will be less inclined to kill it. What's the point if there's no challenge?

Did they modify the cat to not kill the mouse? Just what is this tom foolery?
You know that babies learn fears from their adults, as this rather strange youtube video shows. You would THINK this baby would be scared stiff but no, it hasn't learned to be frightened of it.
