Japanese Cat Makes Friends With a Hamster and Suddenly Everything is Okay in the World

The two species are often seen as predator and prey, but this pair are clearly quite close.

During one part of the clip below, Mogu looked like he was about to bite his small, furry friend, but it turns out that the cat just wanted to groom his hamster companion.

Whether it’s with another animal friend or its owner, cats really love to snuggle — some even cry when their owner stops cuddling with them!
