“I told you they’d say no Frank. People just don’t understand my kind. Under this garbage-eating, masked-robber-looking exterior, we’re just animals looking for the party.”

Now we are not suggesting that anyone adopt a seal as a pet, that is probably a terrible idea for both you and the seal. But that is exactly what this Russian girl did after she saved a lonely seal cub that she found. She feeds it, takes it out for a walk and even lets it swim around in her bath tub.

It’s like a torpedo-shaped dog.

Check out these two unlikely friends, and judging by the kitten’s collar they just came back from a concert.

They may not have been to sea in a beautiful pea green boat, but Edward Lear could have written his 19th-century classic The Owl And The Pussycat just for them.

The unlikely bond was forged after a litter of abandoned kittens was handed in to a bird of prey sanctuary.

Despite being fair game for owls, one of the litter has become firm friends with Nigel, a white-faced scops owl.

Staff said Nigel would normally fancy an animal the size of the black-and-white kitten, named Podge, for lunch, but as these pictures show that seems to be the last thing on his mind.

‘A lorry driver found the kittens in the road and not knowing what to do with them he brought them to us,’ said Kim Kirkbride of the Hawk Conservancy Trust in Andover, Hampshire.

‘I offered to look after them but Nigel seems to have got a bit attached to one of them. They’re the best of friends.’

The rest of the kittens will rehomed through the Cats Protection League but Ms Kirkbride said: ‘Podge and Nigel get on so well, I’d be heartbroken to split them up.’

We’ve heard of cats chasing squirrels, but never about a cat mothering a squirrel.

Tita the cat, took the abandoned rodent under her paw when her owner found him injured and alone in a park. Things didn’t look good for this poor little red squirrel, but cat owner Ruben Gaviria of Medillin, Colombia found that her cat Tita began treating it as her own. The adopted squirrel even has a playmate in the form of Tita’s young kitten. Now the baby squirrel suckles from Tita alongside the baby cat and cuddles up to sleep next to the feline friends. The plucky red squirrel looks set for a happy, if different, start to life.

Well we think they make an adorable little family.

Based on the soundtrack, I can only assume that these two are off on a journey of deep spiritual reflection. Or maybe they’re being just a little bit emo.

“We may be different… but I love everything about you”

Just ’cause everyone likes Cheerios. And everyone knows it’s always better to eat Cheerios with a friend.

Back in January we posted about this baby orangutan who had taken a liking to a little girl. Well half a year later and the two of them have grown a bit, but are still the best of friends.
