The Japs have genetically modified mice to not fear cats. The video shows the mouse crawling all over a cat.

That is the most disinterested cat I have ever seen. Never mind the mouse!

Why would you bother? It's impressive and all, but I can't think of a practical application for this.

Even for a cat that was selected for being 'exceptionally docile' its not even looking at the thing running all around it.
