@Lupos1987 duh! no wonder.... "she" is angry callin "her" male-name :PP

Could. Not. Be. More. Adorable. But also, the cat gets to be a cat (playing with the fish, purring, being inquisitive but cautious) and the seal gets to be a seal - feed me now, human underlings! Juvenile sea lions can be insanely playful and goofy with humans, including those in the water with them; nice to see how sharp an older seal can be re: how to get food from us suckers. Lovely to see the airborne feline interacting with a very different, if also seafood-loving, mammal.

i wonder how would that seal react if a human swims along with her ??

I just went to Friday Harbor and ended up feeding Popeye 36 herring with my mom and sister, lol she is so cute!!! We all fell in love with her!

I'm thinking they look related... look at their coats!

cute seal! I added it to my favorites!
This is such a sweet video! Ever since I read the book, "A Seal Called Andre" years ago as a little girl, the harbor seal has been my favorite animal. Are there any other harbor seals near that area that like to interact with people?

@jfkjrlover This is the only seal I know of that interacts. She has been coming to the fuel dock in friday harbor every morning for 15 years +

I love how Popeye splashes the water when you tell him good morning; was that his way of greeting you or was he telling you to get on with it and give him fish? Also, is he a wild animal that shows up daily like Flipper, or is he actually your pet?

Hi,
Popeye is very spoiled and gets impatient when you do not throw fish. She was splashing the water to demand more fish. She is a wild animal. She has been showing up at the fuel dock in friday harbor,wa every morning at 8:00 am for about 15 years.

Iris is a Bengal cat. It is a cross between an asian leopard cat and short haired tabby. In other words, a farm cat with fancy pajamas
