Wouldn't this stress the hamster?
Pretty sure it does, I never let cats near my hamster, hamsters have a great sense of smell and just being near them seemed to get her nervous
just like everything else, it depends on the cat and the hamster. does the picture show a friendly cat? a scared hamster? how much did your own shit play into your assumptions?
