| Published on June 3, 2016

We love animal friendships. Especially when it involves cats! We especially love the way that cats can befriend other animals so effortlessly. And we know that you do too!

This beautiful friendship we’re featuring today is truly a special one. This cat named Sappy has been in love with a horse named Dakota ever since he was a kitten. These two have become best friends despite their size differences.

Their mom, Denice Kinney, told The DodoAs the little fella started to grow I noticed he would be laying next to the horse as he grazed. If the horse laid down, he would lay on him. I’ve even seen him crawl up his tail to get on his back!

Denice also told Lovemeow, “That cat is in his stall everyday during feeding time and after feed time, I always set on that container and here they both come. If I go riding, that cat goes along like a dog would!
