Owl And Cat Playing: Oddest Couple In The Animal Kingdom? (VIDEO)

We've seen our share of cute/weird/funny/(insert adjective here) animal videos, but this might be the first time we've seen an odd couple this strange.

Fum (the cat) and Gebra (the barn owl) make an odd pair of "friends." However, what's really amazing to see is Fum's attempts to play with the bird as she soars past.

Everytime the owl flys away it still seems to land near the cat, as if the two were getting along. Fum also doesn't show any aggression when the bird lands.

The situation leaves us with one burning question. Is this a true friendship or are they conspiring to overthrow the rest of the world? You can decide for yourself after watching the video below, but we still don't trust black cats.

Hate to be the killjoy, but that's very dangerous for the owl. Cats have a bacteria, Pasteurella multocida , on their claws that, if he accidentally scratched the bird, could kill it.

The owl and the pussycat went to sea
in a beautiful pea-green boat

... and they danced to the light of the moon.

Huff post is a sham, I posted a comment about bird abuse 20/30 minutes ago and it is not here.

This site gives badges for flagging and I think that causes posts to be lost and a very slow site. Post it again.

How great is that? A black cat and a white faced barn owl playing together accompanied by Mexican music.

That is not Mexican music (Spanish language); rather, it is Catalan.
