#2Cat and horse — Five-Star Sunbathing Suite

A cat hops up onto a horse's back, finds the warmest patch of autumn sun in the county, and settles in like a guest checking into a luxury resort. The horse could not possibly care less, which is the best part.

#3Kitten and calf — Kanga Picked a Bodyguard

On a farm in Republic, Missouri, a tiny kitten named Kanga trotted into the barn and chose a gentle calf named Roo as his personal guardian. Over 1.6 million views of a cat napping against an animal roughly fifty times his size.

#4Dog and pigeons — Watson, Bird Magnet

Watson the dog has somehow been adopted by an entire flock of neighborhood pigeons, who gather around him and perch directly on his back and head. He wears them like a feathered hat and seems genuinely honored.

#5Japanese macaque — Punch and His Stuffie

Punch, a young macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo near Tokyo, found comfort in a plush orangutan toy, and the clips of him cuddling it set the whole internet off under the hashtag HangInTherePunch. Pure, unguarded tenderness from a wild animal.
