Making friends is important, and this is something that even animals seem to know. We often see this theme in children’s animated films where animals form unlikely friendships, but it’s not just fiction. Such sweet interactions happen more frequently in real life than we realize. One heartwarming example is captured in a YouTube video that shows a tiny kitten striking up a friendship with a deer.
In the video, the scene begins with a kitten standing near some bushes in her family’s backyard. Not far away, a deer is watching, curious about the small creature moving closer to it. You might expect the kitten to be nervous or even scared of the much larger animal.
But surprisingly, the kitten is anything but afraid. She confidently approaches the deer, getting as close as possible before casually lying down, as if waiting to see what the deer will do next. The two animals briefly sniff at each other, but the deer takes a step back, unsure of what to think about this fearless little cat.
For a moment, there is a peaceful silence between them, as if they’ve come to an unspoken agreement: they’re friends. They seem to enjoy each other’s presence for a little while before deciding, at the same time, that it’s time to part ways.
As soon as the kitten turns back to her owner, she lets out a meow, almost as if she’s telling her human all about her newfound friend. Viewers from all over have been charmed by this unlikely bond.

One viewer commented, “I loved how the kitten turned around and walked back to their human all proud they made a friend.”
Another person added, “I love how the deer was genuinely confused on why the kitten was so friendly.”
