Cats have a rep for being standoffish, but we know that cats can be very friendly - when they want to be! Here are a few tales of interspecies friendships that will make you go, “Awwwwwweeeee!”

 

Cat + Rat

Pretty adorable, and even more so since cats and rats are supposedly mortal enemies.

Cat + Fox

So this adorableness is happening somewhere in the Turkish wilderness…

Cat + Dog

Those with cat and dogs living together under the same roof knows that “enemies” is not always the case…

Cat + Deer

They probably have no idea how sweet this is.

Cat + Owl

This owl, Fuku-Chan, lives at an owl cafe in Japan. “Whoooo” knew there was such a thing? (We know, we are very funny). The resident kitty, Marimo, is his best friend.

Gotta go, *melting*!
