Cats spend about 50 percent of their waking hours grooming, but why bother when you have a horse friend like this?
In this viral French video, a friendly horse uses his muzzle to cuddle and massage a young white barn cat, or perhaps he’s helping the kitty scratch a hard-to-reach itch. Either way, he must be doing something right, because that cat has quite a pretty coat!
Horses are social animals and enjoy grooming each other, but you don’t often see a horse grooming a cat. Maybe there aren’t any other horses around, and this horse is just expressing a natural urge. But despite their size and species difference, the smiling kitty seems to appreciate the pampering. You can see she’s nuzzling against her large friend as though trying to return the favor.
Animal “odd couples” are not uncommon. When raised together or placed in close quarters, animals’ natural urges to socialize and nurture transcend superficial differences.
