Interspecies love. . .

I am obsessed with examples of animals engaged in interspecies friendships. It is so adorable, and such a lovely symbol of the peace that's possible between us all.

 None of these are my pictures, but please feast on this extravaganza of photos of Charles the bearded dragon and Baby the cat, who have proven to be the best of friends!

Here's a little background.

According to an article in the Telegraph, the critters' owner, Cheyenne March of Pennsylvania, was nervous when she first got Charles that Baby would gobble him up.

Instead, Ms. March said the first time they saw one another, the cat rubbed against the lizard. Then the cat fell asleep and the lizard headed over "for a cuddle." It went from there.

Ms. March has a hypothesis that "Charles enjoys how warm Baby is, and that Baby likes the texture of Charles' body."

The pair are said to do everything together. "Now they share a little cat hut while they have naps and I often find them cuddling on the sofa fast asleep," the proud owner reports. "They go out for little strolls, watch birds together from the window, stare down our postman and then cuddle up for a nap—they're absolutely adorable."

Indeed. Enjoy my little photo gallery. If this story doesn't improve your day in some way, I can't help you!
