It is a heartwarming thing to see two animals from different species interact with one another and become best friends on equal terms. It is even more so when you see a cross-species adoption take place out of the animal’s own volition! Says a lot about just how empathetic and kind animals can be.
Of course, it can be very entertaining when the adoption isn’t entirely reciprocated! Koby the Labrador Retriever finds himself being adopted by Birdie the kitten as the kitten’s ‘mama’. He seems completely resigned to his fate as the kitten happily makes biscuits on his chest. Well, at least he is very much loved!
As you watch the video, it is clear the kitten is trying very hard to suckle a non-existent teat as well. Poor thing, it must be hungry. In the meantime, Koby is looking resolutely at his parent with a sort of deadpan look. Poor guy – he looks so done with his situation!
