Cat? No. This there is no rat.
Just looks about like it.

#bisamratte
The Bisamratte (muskrat, Ondatra zibethicus) lives in aquatic environments and is native to North America, but has been introduced and is now widespread across Europe and Asia. It is not a true rat, but the largest member of the vole family (Wühlmäuse).
Habitat
Muskrats are semi-aquatic and are specifically tied to water bodies with stable water levels and ample vegetation.
Typical habitats include:
Lakes, ponds, and marshes
Rivers, streams, and irrigation canals
Gräben (ditches) and flooded areas
They build two types of homes depending on the environment:
Bank Burrows: In suitable shorelines and dikes, they dig extensive tunnel systems with underwater entrances to a chamber above the waterline.
"Muskrat Houses" or "Castles" (Burgen): In marshy areas where burrowing is not possible, they construct dome-shaped mounds up to a meter high using local aquatic plants like reeds and bulrushes.

and most importantly:
Are they clean?
In biological terms, the Bisamratte (muskrat) is considered a very clean animal, though it presents unique hygiene and health factors you should know about.

Self-Care and Grooming
Constant Grooming: Muskrats spend a significant amount of time grooming their fur. This is a survival necessity; their dense underfur must remain clean and un-matted to trap air, which provides both insulation against cold water and buoyancy while swimming.
Water-Loving: Unlike common city rats (Norway rats), which are often associated with waste, muskrats live almost exclusively in clean aquatic environments and feed primarily on fresh vegetation like cattails and water lilies.
