The common knowlege of all mouse fear cats is not necessarilt true, now that a mouse has been genetically engineered by scientiest to be unafraid of cats. By altering the mouse's sense of smell, the "fearless" mouse does not try to flee when it smells cats and other feral predators. Studies made by scientists showed that mammals who run away from predators were inborn with the behavior in their brain, and not from experience. By disabling the functions in the brain for the sense of smell, they were able to successfully remove the fear from the mouse.
