示例
  明·李开先《林冲宝剑记》第六出:都是谗言佞言,一个个猫鼠同眠
  《旧唐书·五行志》: “扞大历呴十三年六月戊戌,陇右汧源县军士赵贵家猫鼠同乳不相害,节度使朱泚笼之以献。宰相常衮率百僚拜表贺,中书舍人崔佑甫曰:‘此物之失性也……猫之食鼠,载在祀典,以其能除害利人,虽微必录。今此猫对鼠,何异法吏不勤触邪,疆吏不勤扞敌?’”《新唐书·五行志一》:“龙朔元年十一月,洛州猫鼠同处。鼠隐伏象盗窃,猫职捕啮,而反与鼠同,象司盗者废职容奸。”又:“天宝元年十月,魏郡猫鼠同乳。同乳者,甚于同处。”古人认为猫捕鼠与官司捕盗性质相同,猫与鼠同处或同乳,即为官司废职容奸之兆。后以比喻上下沆瀣一气,臭味相投。
