This is a real story about a cat, a dog...and a couple of mices.

This is Booger, Kitty and Mousie. Booger is the dog, Kitty the cat and Mousie, naturally, the mouse.

The entire balancing act belongs to Greg Pike, a popular street performer known as the "dog-cat-mouse guy" to locals in Bisbee, a remote US town two miles north of the Mexico-Arizona border.

Pike is a familiar fixture on Bisbee's streets, where he stops on the footpath, stacks his pets atop one another and sets out a basket for donations.

He accepts cash from those wanting to photograph the dog, cat and mice perched atop each other.

Earlier this year Pike was arrested by Bisbee police for loitering to beg and doing business without a licence.

Within hours of his arrest, two community groups helped raised Pike's $US910 bail and a dozen people accompanied him to his plea hearing.

The city attorney almost immediately dropped the licence charge.

The county prosecutor, who had jurisdiction on the loitering count, took longer but ultimately reached the same conclusion.

"I don't verbally ask for money, I don't have any signs, and so it's a voluntary donation," Pike later told the Sierra Vista Herald newspaper.

"I feel I've been wronged. I want the Police Department to know that somebody owes me an apology."
