The Funniest And Most Wholesomest Stories Of Cats Meeting Animals From Other Species

For this week's challenge, we decided to celebrate something about acts cats that isn't often celebrated. Cats are known to be independent creatures, so most people think that cats are not friendly. But that's not true. Cats are just… picky about who they're friendly with. But we have seen cats make friends with all kinds of animals before - even the most unexpected ones.

We've seen cats befriend turtles, as unlikely as that may be. We have seen cats befriend horses, even despite the massive size difference. We have even seen one cat befriend chickens and love those chickens so much that it began imitating their behavior. No matter how different the species may be, cats can become friends with anyone that they choose. So, when we asked you guys to tell us about the most interesting interaction your cats have had with animals from different species, we expected some awesome results, and yup, as always, you guys delivered.
