Auan, a seven-year-old female cat, shares a meal with Jeena, a three-year-old male mouse at a farmer's house in the central province of Phichit, 450 km (281 miles) north of Bangkok, August 7, 2002. The animals' owners say Auan found Jeena three years ago and has been his playmate and protector, including warding off dogs, since then. REUTERS/Sukree Sukplang
