Sometimes, in the animal world, animals can have some strange friendships. We have seen animals make friends in the most unexpected moments and situations. Like the loving friendship between a leopard and a Rottweiler or the heartwarming 37-year friendship between a man and the swan he rescued. But the new friendship shared by dontgiveashoot on imgur is something different.

It seems that this awwdorable cat has chosen its new toy fish as its new best friend, giving it half its bed and everything, and the internet... the internet's hearts melted seeing these cuties side by side. So, yeah, animal friendships can be incredibly unique - from befriending other species to humans to toys, and it's all too wholesome for this world.

Give the gift of kindness this holiday season by donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser to help homeless pets and animals in need! It's time to pay your cat tax!

"Toby said he's my friend so I share my half bed with him... omg he's so heartwarming" - we so agree with you. This is too wholesome. Last time I gave my cat a new toy, there was a whole battle, hissing included, then when I put it in its bed, guess what? Smack, gone. Your floofball is too precious, please share more pictures of this wholesome friendship.

"I was moved to tears... BTW, this is not the displayed picture or acting cute sth. Toby had been playing with this toy just now. When I went to find him, I found that he had left half of a bed for his fish toy. Not To Be Dramatic But I Would Die For This Animal"
