Cute alert! Amazing footage of an unlikely, but extremely cute, friendship between an owl and pussycat has taken YouTube by storm.
The famous Edward Lear poem about The Owl and the Pussycat instantly springs to mind with the discovery of an unlikely but charming relationship formed by a real life owl and pussycat.
Proving that life can be stranger than fiction, Fum the cat has been captured on film goofing around with Gebra the barn owl.
The pair have subsequently become a hit on YouTube with almost 500,000 tuning in to see the cute twosome.
The YouTube video shows Gebra the owl teasing Fum the cat by swooping low with Fum responding by jumping up to try and catch Gebra. At other moments the pair are seen rubbing up against each other affectionately.
It is evident that the playful duo enjoy each other's company. The animals are believed to have been friends since they were young.
It is unclear where the video was taken but it appears to be somewhere in the Spanish countryside.
Both simutaneously thinking:
"Can I eat this thing?"
"It's not letting me eat it."
"It has an unusually soft texture."
"It has a funny face and demeanour."
"It's fun to play with!"
"Hey, come back and play with me again!"

Owl: I wanna hug!!
Cat: Yummm, dinner...
But really xD The cat is stalking and pouncing on the barn owl. The owl really need to learn not to cuddle but to RUN AWAY.

At first I thought the owl was tethered in the ground shots because i also see the leather strap. While he's not tied up, his diving at the cat seems more predatory than i'm comfortable with. The attention we --including myself-- are giving to this video contributes to other (less informed, more careless) people placing animals in jeopardy for the sake of notoriety.
