Believe it or not, not all “natural
enemies” really are enemies. Sometimes animals from species you
wouldn't think would get along do. For instance, my cat Daniel Tiger
used to play and sleep with my roommate's puppy. He even helped teach
the puppy how to behave by whacking or poking him on the nose when he
went too far when other cats would probably have just screeched and
run away. What I thought was the most interesting thing, though, was
that Daniel never used his claws on the dog; other cats
probably would have torn him up or at least sent him away with more
than a few scratches. He was a very patient, mellow cat in that way.
I miss him.

Cute!”, a really fun show on Animal Planet.

I especially love the puppies playing
with the goat. My friend's family used to raise dairy goats and I can
tell you from experience that they're usually not
that patient!
The last thing you'd expect to see a
cheetah do is play “chase” with a dog, but here it is:
This lion, tiger and bear team was
found in the garage of a drug dealer. While I have no clue as to how
that guy got these animals in his garage (cubs or not) and lived to tell about it,
it's still sweet to see what a “family” they've become.
Enjoy!
