Charming footage of a kitten's friendship with an otter (9 photos + 1 video)

There was no way these two could have met in the wild, but in the apartment they became best friends!





The otter named Sakura loves water and takes a bath every day, but the cat Mochi hates water. But despite this, the animals have been friends since childhood.



The animals are so different that they don't understand how to play together. For example, a cat loves to run after a toy, but an otter does not understand why he does this. But the otter happily frolics in the bathroom, and the cat watches her with bewilderment.





But as soon as it’s time to sleep or rest, Sakura looks for Mochi to curl up with him. Animals always sleep together, says the owner of the cute couple.



It seems that in this couple, Sakura is the one who loves, and Mochi is the one who allows herself to be loved. However, all cats are like that.



Keeping an otter at home is very difficult. The first, most important condition is that the otter must swim a lot. Every day. In addition, they require about a kilogram of food every day: fresh unpeeled fish, frogs and white meat. In addition, otters need vitamins and algae.



And the main problem of otters is very smelly stool due to their fish diet. It’s difficult to say how Sakura’s owner copes with these, but on YouTube she said that keeping an otter is quite an adventure.

Despite all the difficulties, Sakura is very loved by her family and Mochi.



Sakura is an Asian clawless otter, the smallest and rarest otter in the world.



These animals are listed in the Red Book as an endangered species. These otters are bred only in special nurseries. Nursery-bred mustelids feel as good as a pet as most cats.



This is the cutest couple today!
