Cats are known to be predators when it comes to rodents, so you may be surprised whenever you see a cat making friends with one. But that’s the case for the pets in this household—a giant Maine Coon and his little guinea pig buddy, who have been friends all their lives, despite the difference in species and size.
Pay no attention to how aggressive the cat appears to be in this video. It’s all done with love.
WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW:
In the video a large gray Maine coon (who, despite his size, is only nine months old) is hanging out on a bed with a small multicolored guinea pig.
He puts his front paws on the tiny rodent and begins to stand, much to the shock of everyone watching this video. But never fear—the guinea pig is actually fine. In the background are two other tabby cats, calmly watching the proceedings.
That guinea pig has one heck of a home life.
“The guinea and his cats were raised together so they have a great relationship,” insists the poster, concerned about the response to this video. “He is not fearful. Duncan, the kitten playing with him, has always been gentle. Duncan is only nine months old and while he is large, he is not hurting the piggie.”
