The Unexpected Love Between These Two Animals Is Positively Heartwarming
A rat and a cat who love each other? Do my eyes deceive me?
It's forbidden love between a rat and a cat.
Peanut the rat is an interesting little critter.
Peanut is totally in love with Ranj the cat, but Ranj is a little more aloof.
Peanut follows Ranj just about everywhere. Ranj jumps on top of the basket, Peanut follows. Ranj jumps off the basket, Peanut follows once again. It's just so cute, I can hardly stand it.
The love's not totally unrequited.
When the mood strikes, Ranj will return affection. This usually consists of a lick or two, and maybe a cute nose nudge somewhere in there. Peanut absolutely loves it.
I know what you're thinking–this kind of interspecies love breaks all the rules.
Yeah, it's practically "Romeo & Juliet" minus the actual romance, human, teen and Italian things. But it's still damn cute to see these two fighting society's standards. There's also a second rat, but that rat is a little less active in cat love.
It's so adorable.
These two really love each other, and here's to their love continuing to break boundaries. For more cat and rat videos, check out chibudgielvr's YouTube channel.
