Our hearts are often warmed with videos and stories on the internet about different-species friendships. This my friends, is not a case of such friendship.

“Meow, I’m having a sleep over, will you stay for breakfast?”

Each morning, he walks them on his family’s 1,850-acre estate and then lets them run free to their hearts’ content.

He said: ‘Wherever you see one the other is right behind. They are inseparable and both have lots of energy so they get the exercise they both need together.
