The only way to have a friend is to be one.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

01:09 A two-month-old kitten, Marimo, and a five-year-old owl, Fuku-chan, have become the newest internet sensation in Japan. The two struck up an unusual friendship after the owners of the coffee shop where Fuku-chan lives brought Marimo home to keep the owl company. Pictures of the two sleeping and playing have gone viral on Japanese social media sites.

02:01 Henri, the famously world-weary and angsty cat, is subjected to the indignity of a dog joining his family. “Just when I think they have exhausted all means of insulting me. Now this.”

00:41 Turtles are perhaps the slowest land animal on the planet, but that doesn’t stop this shelled creature as he changes directions on the cat three times to try and catch his feline friend.

01:54 Three ducklings went missing on an Irish farm, and the farmer thought the cat had eaten them. What he found was even more surprising – they were snuggled up to a cat mom, right next to her kittens. Stranger still, the ducklings were breastfeeding (ducklings don’t breastfeed, as they are self-sufficient virtually from birth).

02:19 Kodi the cat demonstrates rather un-feline like behavior in this cute video.

01:17 Watch Cooper, a hungry Persian kitten, standing on his hind legs to chow down the food he’s being served with chopsticks.

What matters most is how you see yourself.

01:49 Marcus attacks a printer. And eats the homework!

01:53 Watch this tiny Himalayan kitten play and explore – he’s so cute.

02:33 The world’s most famous cat turned 4 years old. As a treat his owner put together a 2011 tribute video, compiled from Maru’s finest and funniest moments.

01:53 Having a human is a big responsibility for a cat. He’s entirely responsible for their health and well-being. So it’s important to establish a proper exercise routine right off the bat. For a quick primer, watch this 7-step tutorial by Kodi the Kitten. He’s got his human trained and walking like a champ.

01:38 Such a sweet, beautiful story. At the start Ranj the cat tolerates Peanut the rat’s devotion. Peanut is able to win Ranj over in the end, and then it’s all hugs and licks!

03:25 Their relationship may look one paw away from ending at times but the playful pair of Fum the cat and Gebra the barn owl have a great time together – as long as everyone’s claws stay in!

01:18 Peanut, a pet rat, absolutely adores Ranj the cat. She follows him around everywhere, sniffing and rubbing him. Actually there are two rats but one is more energetic in romancing Ranj.

01:32 Watch this loving threesome: Sharkey the pit bull, Arthur the rabbit, and a guinea pig. Sharkey cuddles and licks his two little friends. Max the cat is part of the family too, but he seems to be off on his own trip.

02:48 Simon has gotten a frisky kitten, and he’s causing chaos and mayhem for Simon’s cat – as well as hogging the food bowl and messing up the litter box. Watch the antics in what might be the funniest Simon’s Cat video yet.

02:05 Usually a cat thinks a crow would make a nice dinner. In this case a stray kitten named Cassie was adopted by Moses, a wild crow, and they soon became the best of friends.

01:00 Watermelon is Cooper’s favorite treat. He’s scarfing down a big piece when his mom decides that her two little puppies should have some too. Big mistake!

00:35 The cat just watches as the seagull walks through the door straight to his food bowl.

00:55 Jupiter the talking cat objects to the ridiculous way his mom talks to him. His final comment: “You better not put this on YouTube.”

01:01 A baby kitten dreams while sleeping next to her mom, and starts twitching her tiny paws. Her mom cuddles her and gives her nurturing hugs. This is such a precious video, you’ll need a hug yourself after watching this heart-melting moment.

01:50 This is completely adorable! Water doesn’t keep these two apart – and they seem to totally enjoy each others’ company.

00:58 Simon’s curious cat just got into a sticky new predicament!  Watch and see.

01:45 Chama is a cat and U-chan is a budgie. And they are best friends. So waking the cat up is all in a day’s play for the bird. Watch and see.

02:19 Watch Iggy explore his dad’s iPad, creating wiggle images and even playing the piano. Classic cuteness.

01:42 Super slow motion shots of Maru from many angles as he goes in and out of boxes.

06:35 Set in a mysterious world, this poetic and beautiful animated short explores the relationship between an old man and his cat.

01:38 Simon’s hungry cat resorts to increasingly desperate measures to wake his sleeping owner.

05:45 A very funny instructional video on how to wash your feline friend. Step-by-step ‘instructions’ told in a deadpan tone. Adorable.
