These two cute little critters have formed a truly great friendship, meet Vali the chimp and Bam Bam the bear.
The two live together at a park in South Carolina, where they and their parents were born.
The age old saying ‘fighting like dogs and cats’ has been dispelled by a pair of unlikely friends at Battersea Cats and Dogs Home (the Old Windsor branch, in Berkshire in the UK).
At just weeks old, Buttons the puppy and Kitty the kitten were both abandoned from a very young age and are now being hand-reared together. So close is their bond that they sleep together, play together and even feed together.
Battersea Veterinary Nurse Sascha Taylor says:
Normally we’d hand rear puppies and kittens separately but we thought we could try putting them together as they are both so young. Luckily it’s paid off as they adore being with each other and do everything together – it’s really very sweet. Hand-rearing them is hard work – I have to feed them every two hours, even throughout the night – but it’s totally worth it. We’re not sure if they’ll be re-homed together, though it would be great if they did!
Here are Buttons and Kitty looking cute together:
Catching some Z’s together:
These two are Kasi and Mtani. The mom abandoned Kasi because he was the only one alive in the litter. Born in Jacksonville, Busch Gardens Tampa took him shortly before opening their new ride “Cheetah Hunt.” His first birthday was within the last month! Mtani is going to be a companion with Kasi for the rest of their lives. It’s amazing to see them playing together.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one… An eagle, a fox, and two cats were chilling on a porch…
First of all just let me explain the hot water heater! My hot water heater leaked and flooded my kitchen and so I just went through getting it replaced. We have had so much snow (it’s melting now) that it was too hard to carry it through all the snow to get to the landfill so it and other building materials are hanging out on my porch until more snow is gone. See how the fox, eagle and cat are all just fine hanging out and no one is trying to attack anyone and they are getting along just fine? Notice the eagle in the background on the lamp post down by the street. That is the partner to this eagle. They aren’t always out to attack and kill each other. Our fox and eagles and cats basically get along just fine here. Sometimes if there is food they might fight over the food some. I live in Unalaska, Alaska in the Aleutian Islands. Also, earlier in the day when the fox first came Gizmo my cat went right up to the fox and told him to leave. It was too funny! But the fox came right back!
Alaska you say, you sure you don’t live in Narnia?
“I wants to touch it, but all I have is pointies!”
Someone needs to remix the Party Rock Anthem song just for this picture, have it say: Everyday they’re shnuggling.
