We all like cuddly animals, so it's probably for the best that someone is keeping track of these things.
This cat and this tortoise.
Why: This cat is a classic protective cuddler. Do you want to give that tortoise a hug too? Well, it's not happening. That tortoise is her cuddle buddy and she's not into sharing.

This hen and her puppy.
Why: Ever heard the term "mother hen"? Well, hens will mother the heck out of you if they're given half a chance. Luckily for everyone, this puppy is totally game for it.

These squirrels.
Why: Scientifically speaking, a pile of squirrels sleeping together is exponentially cuter than a single squirrel sleeping alone.

This mouse and this bird.
Why: Is there anything more endearing than interspecies friendship? Just look at that bird sheltering that mouse under its wing. They're buds. Best buds. Best buds forever.
