This Cat And Bearded Dragon Are Inseparable Best Friends
Sometimes we know exactly what we want from companionship. We adopt rambunctious puppies and fluffy kittens, and we understand what we are getting ourselves into. Sometimes we adopt other pets, like fish and lizards, and again, most of the time we know what we are getting into.
However, friendships can form under unusual circumstances where we least expect them. For example, when fluff and scales collide. Most of us wouldn't even think of taking our bearded dragon out of its aquarium, let alone letting it chill with our cat, especially since cats are known to hunt the occasional lizard with quite a bit of pride and joy.
For one owner, though, they figured, why not? The unexpected result was a priceless and adorable friendship between a female bearded dragon named Charles and a cat named Baby that you need to see to believe.
1. Unusual Love
We're sure most people don't think of lizards as affectionate pets, and we're also sure most people assume a cat would be more likely to hunt and slowly devour a lizard. But when it comes to Charles and Baby, they certainly broke the mold.
2. Breaking the Mold
Even the owner of this unusual pair initially worried that Baby might hurt Charles. But what happened instead was that they bonded and became the best of friends.
3. Cuddle Therapy
The two also like to cuddle and snuggle during thunderstorms because Baby is usually scared of the thunder. But with Charles by her side, she remains calm, cool, and collected.
4. Teamwork
Not only are the pair inseparable pals, but they also work together to guard and protect their home. See? Cute.
5. Selfie Time!
The two even take selfies together, and nobody seems to mind if the camera catches Baby mid-blink because it's still so cute.
6. Playtime
The unusual duo doesn't just cuddle and snuggle; they also play games like tag together!
7. Love Buddies.
If this isn't true love, we don't know what is.
8. Friends That Eat Together...
These adorable buddies even enjoy their meals together, and for now, they don't steal from one another's bowls.
9. Claws to Paws
Have you ever seen anything cuter than this? Charles has her claws on Baby's paws while they nap together. My heart can barely take it.
The pair is growing in popularity on their Instagram account, where you can keep up with their adorable shenanigans. But for now, this video should satisfy all your cat-dragon-love needs:
Friendship can be such a beautiful, random, and strange thing. We bond with people we might have had the wrong first impression about. But what about those of us stuck in the Friendzone? It's an actual thing, and it's devastating.
