friends

Cats are kind of known to be uh cough cough antisocial creatures. Sometimes it is true, I'm not gonna lie. However, a lot of the time it very much isn't the case! For example, cats and dogs oftentimes get along swimmingly despite all the rumors. With a little getting used to and enough encouragement, a lot of animals can absolutely get along with cats! Cats just show their love in funny ways sometimes.

Some of the photos you will see here are cats with animals they are "supposed" to fight with, like dogs. Some of the photos even include photos of cats with animals they are "supposed to eat, like birds. If a cat can freakin adopt a duck as one of its own, maybe world peace is closer than we think! 

Babies and animals are some of the sweetest images on the planet because we get to witness true discovery. As babies learn the softness of fur and the sensitivity of tails, we get to feel their excitement alongside them! Sometimes the interactions aren't always super smooth.. but the experiences themselves are so enriched with love and curiosity that this is a topic that neverrrrrrrrrrrrr gets old.

Below you will find photos of tiny babies with giant dogs, newborn kittens with babies, babies with guinea pigs, and more! So many smiles and giggles, my heart can barely take it. The ultimate sweetness in such a post can give you a cavity.

What started off tragic ended up leading to a heartwarming friendship between a fox and two doggos. Cliodhna O'Leary, a 29-year-old animal lover from Cork, Ireland, used to be visited by two foxes from time to time - a brother and sister. But one day, tragically, the brother got run over and died. O'Leary, having grown attached to the beautiful smiling foxes, decided to adopt the 2-week-old fox who lost her brother into her own little family, and in an incredible turn of events, she "watched in awe as the creature befriended her pug and springer spaniel puppy."

Losing someone is always hard - for all of us. Apparently, that is true for animals as well. And it was especially true for George the dog. He had lost his very best doggo friend and has been heartbroken for 2 years since his passing, acting depressed and tired, not smiling nearly as much as he used to. 

But then one day, something amazing happened. Out of nowhere, a duck waddled into George's life and absolutely insisted on the two of them becoming best friends. And lo and behold, a heartwarming interspecies friendship developed. Soon, George began smiling again, and seeing him happy made us smile just as much. 

Friendship is one of those magical things that can surpass race, religion, or in the case of animals, species. Here are some photos of animals in some *likely* friendships, because we're not surprised that these creatures have made friends with each other. Why? Because every animal has a lot of love to give, whether its to something from the same species or not. For some more heartwarming photos, have a look at these beautiful animal mamas and their babies.

As your pet gets older and older, you start thinking about getting it a pet friend - some company, someone to love when you're busy and not around. And though you may not think that getting your senior cat a pet great Dane dog would be the best idea in the world, in this case, you'd be wrong, because this senior kitty and huge doggo absolutely love each other. 

They're best friends and love each other so much. They have out together in the sunshine every single morning, sometimes, they kitty uses the pupper as its personal pillow. And they are so adorable together, the collective hearts of the internet have completely melted. 

Oh... cats and dogs. A battle as old as time. Two animals so incredibly different in behavior that everyone thinks they could never get along. That assumption makes sense. If you've ever studied the way that cats and dogs behave, you would have seen that the same body language cue from one would mean the opposite to the other. For one, extreme tail wiggles are very positive, and for the other, extreme tail wiggles mean you have to get away or the murder-mitten will be put into action. 

But that's not true for all cat and dog pairs. Some of them do learn each other's behavior over time and become best of friends. And because of how different they are, when they do become friends, it is extra adorable. So, here are some adorable best buddies for your heart-fluttering entertainment right here.

Everyone is just a little bit different, whether it be our hobbies that make us different, our interests, the way we behave or the way we look. But that doesn't stop us from being friends. Amazingly enough, the same can be said about animals. 

Countless times have we seen animals that are so incredibly different from each other becoming friends. Sometimes, it's not under the best of circumstances, and other times, it is completely natural. If you're nice to an animal, it might just be nice to you back. If an animal is nice to another animal, the same principal holds.

Please enjoy this collection of animal interspecies friendship, and fall in love with animals just a little nit more.
