The Weasel and Aphrodite[a] (Ancient Greek: Γαλῆ καὶ Ἀφροδίτη, romanized: Galê kaì Aphrodítē), also known as Venus and the Cat is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 50 in the Perry Index. A fable on the cynic theme of the constancy of one's nature, it serves as a cautionary tale against trusting those with evil temper, for even if they might change their body, they will not change their mind.[2]
The fable has similar themes with the Indian tale of The Mouse Turned into a Maid, in which a mouse turns into a woman and marries a human male.
