For this week's challenge, to kick Caturday off with some wholesomeness, we asked you guys to tell us about the cutest and funniest encounters that your cat has ever had with another animal! 

Cats are notoriously known as solitary creatures. They're independent, they do whatever they want whenever they want to. They can handle themselves and don't need anyone else. If a cat wants a companion - whether it's you the human or someone else - they choose them, which makes the friendships all the more special. Now, we have seen cats befriend dogs before- unlikely as that may seem. We have seen cats befriend cockatoos and other birds, even though they're so different. We've even seen a cat become friends with a horse, despite their size difference. And we knew that our amazing audience will have even more interesting stories to tell us once we challenge them. And you did not disappiont.

    "Years ago, my sweet kitten Percy got to know my Lorrie, Tane. Tane was allowed to wander, she had a pretty nasty nip, and the cats were afraid of her. But Percy was new and always curious. This happened one afternoon. They were just having a conversation. Nothing more. Both have been gone for a few years now and I miss them both."

    "My dogs always get a treat when they finish their dinner. My kitten has recently started to line up with them like "I can haz treat?" I can't give him rawhide sticks but I give him a couple of little cat treats. He just wants to be one of the bros so badly. It's the cutest."

    Font - Lauren Schmidt My first cat, Trouble, back in the 90s, liked to watch the birds in our backyard. One day, she saw another cat stalking the birds, ready to pounce. Trouble rushed out and chased the other cat over the fence. Didn't fight the other cat, just chased it away and came back. I don't know why she did it. It could just be that she was being territorial. But it looked like she was protecting the birds. We would let her outside for short periods of time, and not once did she bother

    Font - Top fan Crystal Morgan One time my cat Sailor brought me what I *thought* was her toy mouse while making her 'play fetch mama!' noise. I reached down to pick it up, it *screamed* at me and ran, I screamed back in surprise, and Sailor was immediately angry that I let her new toy run away under my easy chair. And that's how we found out our apartment had mice. Like Reply Hide Send Message 2d 11

    Font - Joelle LeJeune Sibley Years ago my cat had a red fox that he would play with, scared me to death the first time I saw the fox chasing him. The cat fell and I just knew he was done for but the fox stopped over him, bounced a little bit then took off running and the cat chased him. Long before cell phones so I never got a video but it was so cute Like Reply Hide Send Message 2d 2
