This Bengal Cat and Otter Become Unlikely Friends
Meet Pip.
Pip was a zoo otter born into a litter of five babies. Unfortunately for Pip, otters only have four nipples to feed their young, and Pip wasn't getting enough milk to grow and survive. Luckily, a caring zookeeper named Pia Cuijpers was there to feed Pip and decided to take her into her home to care for her.
Now meet Sam.
Sam is a Bengal cat, something Pia had always wanted. When Sam moved in, the two animals had separate rooms to have their space, but soon they were playing together, grooming each other, and even spending their time sleeping and eating together. Not only that, but Sam has a massive amount of energy to play and explore, which is great for being the playmate of a demanding and intelligent animal like Pip.
These two together make the best of friends, spending lots of time together and sharing their adventures on both their Instagram page and YouTube channel (check out their links below!). But even so, they still have their differences!
According to Pia, they both like to eat all the time and are like two little kids who constantly mess up the house, but isn't that just the most adorable idea?
Unlike Sam, however, Pip has learned to enjoy walking on a leash and going for strolls with Pia, and she has learned many commands, no matter how hard they may have been to teach.
