We have already seen cats cuddling up with or playing with animals that should be their prey or even the cat’s predators. If you pay enough attention and let the animals interact with each other safely, there is a high chance that they will learn to tolerate each other. However, the following relationship is more than just tolerating as the otter and the cat have become great friends together and even like to cuddle.

The name of the otter is Sakura and the kitty goes by the name Mochi. They are just as adorable as the names would suggest. You can also probably guess that they live in Japan by their names. And not only that, but both of them have gone viral on several social media platforms. Their human loves to post about them on Youtube and, there are whole videos of them just playing together which are always worth a watch.

This might seem weird to some as we always think of cats as the predator. However, according to research, sometimes an otter can harm a cat and vice versa. So this friendship is very weird in the first place. Not only that, but sometimes wild cats carry a parasite that is not harmful to the cat themselves but can end a sea otter’s life. So the above relationship is not a normal thing and neither should it be.

This may make you want an otter as a pet but if you live in the USA, you’re out of luck as it is illegal to own an otter in most of the states. Actually, in most countries, this is the case. So read up on the law before deciding to get one.
