Cat and Beagle Do a Wonderful Photo Shoot in a Pumpkin Patch
Losing a friend is one of the worst things that can happen to anyone. We humans often think that sorrow and a sense of loss are exclusive to our species, but that’s not true at all.
Animals can feel that way too, and when they lose a friend, it can be devastating. Chloe’s best friend, a bunny named Rue, passed away, leaving her inconsolable.
Her owner couldn’t bear to see her so depressed, so she decided to do something to lift her spirits and possibly help her heal. She adopted Chlea, and it proved to be an excellent idea.
The two bonded the moment they met and have been inseparable since. Chlea could never replace Rue, but now Chloe has another friend to play with and spend time with, and she is loving it.
“Chloe is very patient and gentle for a beagle, and Chlea very much acts like a dog,” says Megan Cottone, the pair’s mom. “Chlea wants to go everywhere that Chloe and I go, so we always bring her along!”
Chlea loves adventuring with her sister and walking on her leash. One of their latest adventures was a visit to a pumpkin patch. See the pics below:

“When we got to the pumpkin patch, they were both excited and wanted to get out of the car to go exploring,” Cottone said. “Chloe was crying, and Chlea was meowing… We found a quiet pumpkin patch that we knew both of them would enjoy sniffing around on their own.”
While they were exploring the pumpkin patch, they also stopped to take some pictures here and there. The results are adorable.
So her mom adopted Chlea, and it proved to be an excellent idea.
Even though they are still getting to know each other, they look like they’ve been friends for years. Their bond is evident in the way they pose together.
They instantly bonded
There is a misconception that cats and dogs can’t be friends and that they are genetically predetermined to be enemies. This is not true.
“People who share their homes with both species know that this is not the case. Dogs and cats can form fast friendships. It is life experiences with members of the other species, and not an inborn animosity, that determines how cats and dogs feel about each other,” say the Clicker Training professionals.
Not every cat-dog relationship becomes a rock-solid friendship. Sometimes they will just learn to tolerate or ignore each other. But even then, it will be a peaceful coexistence.
The ideal time to start socializing is when kittens are between 6 and 12 weeks and puppies between 8 and 16 weeks.

Best friends for life
It’s wonderful to see that Chloe is on her way to full recovery and that she can enjoy life again. Chloe and Chlea love to pose together because they enjoy spending time together. They were best friends from the moment they met, and it’s obvious they’ll be best friends forever.
