    The more I learn about cats, the more I become aware of the numerous acts of kindness that cats often show to other animals which include raising tiger cubs, red squirrels, newborn pups and many more, and now I can add meerkats to the list. This was beautiful to watch. Thanks for sharing.

    A sparrow landed on my knee one day as I was sitting on my smoko at work. Since then he visits every morning . Now he brings his wife and his eldest baby too. I am the surrogate father of a family of sparrows because dad had the confidence to confront me and demand some of my muesli bar. Very smart indeed.

    Enjoyed this video very much. I had an older male cat who helped raised a squirrel. They were best friends and my cat would chase off other cats when they played outside. Both came in and out of the house at any time. They would curl up in the hood of a winter coat as their nighttime bed. In time the squirrel met its mate and wondered off but would visit once in a while. This was about 40 years ago. I still miss there funny play.

    Yes, I have a story of friendship and bonding.
    I'm of the French Canadian species coming from an icy cold environment. 35 years ago I bonded with a Chinese species of the female type eminating from a hot and muggy climate. Somehow this bond resulted in a marriage of differences so far apart, then culminating into a loving relationship.
    I'm now 77 and she's 73 and we couldn't be more differrent and yet so loving.
    We both love our puddy-tat too!

      Are you kidding? Heat, AC, water, medicine/ healthcare, soft beds to lay on, food at regular intervals without struggling, and treats. Nor a worry about being prey. Getting snuggles... I'd 100% chose that life over the wild. The only thing i can think of is no babies or family, being alone and all. But if he were mine, I'd take him to the zoo or get a rescue female to make 1 batch of babies for the experience.

    Cats and meerkats belong to the same order (carnivora) and the same suborder (feliforma). That being said, they normally live in very different parts of the world (the meerkats are from) Africa. In this case they make charming companions. I realky enjoyed this video.

    This is a lovely story about cat & a young Meerkat who become the best of friends. What I find strange about this story is how was Nice's owner able to adopt the Meerkat pup from a Petting Zoo. How was she able to do this when the owner derives his/her income from people paying to interact with the animals. In addition, Meerkats are known to be escape artists & before they could even be introduced to the public in the USA, the zoo had to build a special enclosure that was constructed in such a way the Meerkats could not dig their way out.

    • @Mrstigger747
      @Mrstigger747 25 днів тому

      I have discovered (via UA-cam) that in Russia you seem to be able to “rescue” exotic animals from these petting zoos! It is very difficult for us to accept the keeping of these animals but sometimes they are better off with their rescues who actually care if they are ill and take them to the vet! I’ve watched one couple who adopted a puma and used the money from their UA-cam channel to buy a house and move out of the apartment they were living in. This gave them a place for it to play and swim. I’ve seen nothing but improvement in an animal that was bought for a petting zoo.

    I grew up backed up to forest and we had 4 cats that caught and killed tons of lizards, snakes, rats, mice, other critters and many rabbits as well but we had a pet black and white dutch bunny and our cats never harmed him. I always thought that was strange but figured they just thought of him as part of the family and not prey. When the rabbit would hop around the cats would often get in that predatory pre pounce position with big dialated eyes and rush at Easter (our rabbit) but would just lightly grab or tackle him without scaring or harming him.
