It’s a usual mechanism that smaller and more endangered animals have more possibility to become victims of other larger and more ferocious animals. Once in a blue moon, an apex predator would let go of prey that could be its food without harming that animal.

Nonetheless, a similar case was reported from the Berlin Zoo. What happened there was, a cat accidentally found itself inside an 800-pound bear’s cage. Employees and onlookers were anticipated to see what would happen in the next few seconds.


On Edge
This happened in 2000. Zookeepers and guests were observing the enclosure of an Asiatic bear called Mäuschen as usual. But their eyes caught a stray black house cat had entered the bear’s dangerous entity at the zoo.

Everyone was flabbergasted by this sight and they couldn’t realize how the cat managed to get in there. The bystanders were scared to death that the cat would get killed beyond their eyes. They later named the cat as Muschi.


A Zoo Favorite
Though there are hundreds of varieties in the Berlin Zoo, Mäuschen the bear was one of the most preferred animals by both guests and workers. Everyone appreciated how gorgeous she was. Not only that but also she had elegant size and strength.

Thye realized what Mäuschen was capable enough to do when they saw Muschi in the same vicinity as her. They were pretty sure that the bear would definitely attack the cat, thus they watched with amazement.


The First Sighting
One of the zoo workers was feeding Mäuschen her breakfast, ensuring she had enough food to eat in her enclosure early in the morning. Then he saw the Muschi. It was sitting on a branch up in a tree.

It was not definitely absurd as the zoo never exhibit cats as one of their species. So it was a real question for them that where Muschi came from. Even though it was not usual, the zookeepers never thought that it would enter the enclosure.


The Situation Changed Drastically
Soon enough, Mäuschen noticed the little guest in the tree. She seemed rather interested in the cat instead of being ferocious. The audience wasn’t quite sure whether Mäuschen was just curious or if she saw it as a quick munch.

Then Mäuschen started to walk towards the tree where the cat was sitting. To the audience’s greater astonishment, the cat also jumped from branch to branch and ultimately reached the ground inside of the enclosure. All waited anxiously.


Everyone Was Amazed
Their fear became more or less a surprise when the flip side of what they were sacred of happened. Mäuschen was not truculent towards the cat, but rather she was so infatuated with it.

It appeared that what some people might call the laws of nature was violated as the two became friends in no time. Not only that they became great friends, but also they became inseparable within the bear’s enclosure at the zoo. But stranger things were yet to come.


They Had To Be Separated
The Berlin Zoo decided that Mäuschen’s enclosure should be expanded in order to enhance the quality of her life. It happened in 2007. It was a significant decision as it made Mäuschen’s life better. Yet, they had to encounter a problem.

As her enclosure had to be constructed, the situation made Mäuschen and Muschi stay away from each other for some time. They seemed not happy about what was going to happen since they had become best friends. How they reacted to the situation was fascinating.


They Missed Each Other Dearly and Zookeepers Felt Awful
They didn’t understand the fact that both of their lives would be better as soon as Mäuschen’s enclosure was constructed. There was a greater possibility to think that they at least realized that they had been separated fro a good cause.

Muschi kept waiting outside of Mäuschen’s cage all night and refused to leave. All of the zookeepers felt guilty for separating a beautiful and unique relationship. And they realized that they had to do something to make it right.


They Were Finally Reunited
Even though the two friends had a bad break, their struggle finally ended as the construction of Mäuschen’s enclosure completed in no time. After they accustomed themselves to the new and enhanced home, both were extremely happy to get together again.

Obviously, the amazing bond between these two animals started to grab attention. Not only from the zookeepers but also from the visitors. They crowded themselves to the zoo in order to see this quirky couple.


The Real Question
Not long after they got together again, people from everywhere began to come to visit the bear and the cat who became the best of friends. It was pretty astonishing to see two animals that are not meant to be together living as an inseparable couple.

As everyone was so enthusiastic about the relationship between Mäuschen and Muschi, they were so curious and started to ask questions. The most burning question they had was where did Muschi come from in the first place?


Studying Their Relationship
Even though how curious was everyone, no one got the answer to how Muschi found its way to the zoo and then into Mäuschen’s enclosure. But the strange bond between them was more interesting than the Muschi’s sudden presence in the zoo.

Yet it was a real question why Muschi tended to climb into the enclosure and get close to a vulture? Didn’t her instincts tell her to stay away from Mäuschen? The employees of the zoo started to think that they had been destined to meet.


A Lesson To Be Learned
Indeed the friendship between Muschi and Mäuschen is extremely unique and very enchanting, yet it conveys us a profound meaning. No one ever thinks that a stray cat and bear would create a strong bond between them and finally become best friends.

They are an epitome to prove that though people are distinctive from their race, culture, or personality, they can create friendships out of anywhere! There is no need of hanging around with the same kind of people as this couple proves that friendship can be found in the most unanticipated places. Interestingly, similar cases have been reported from different places all over the world.


More Bear And Cat Friendships
Indeed, believe it or not, Muschi and Mäuschen were not the only bear and cat that has an amazing relationship. A similar incident was reported from another zoo in California. They were found at the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary.

In the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary too, a bear and cat formed an interesting relationship. Sometimes, this friendship would help the researchers to come up with a reason why this pairing was happening multiple times.


Another Black Cat
More like Muschi, a black cat strayed into the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary ad ultimately stepped into the zoo’s bear enclosure. Similar to the Berlin incident,  the bystanders were sacred to death worrying that the bear would harm the cat.

Nonetheless, the two animals seemed to get along with each other. It appeared like they became friends immediately to everyone’s relief. The cat was later named as Little Bear by the workers of the zoo.


Sneaky Kitty
Little Bear was first a sneaky cat. The employees of the zoo found out that the cat was peeping into the bear’s enclosure every morning to thieve some food they would leave out for the animal.

The bear did let the cat eat some of its food every day without being the menacing vulture it could have become. Ultimately, what the zookeepers did was, they left a bowl of cat food for the cat. The bear was waiting without eating that bowl until its cat friend to come and eat.


The Zookeepers Were Shocked
Astonished were the Zoo’s employees and zookeepers by the absurd bondage between the two animals. For the most part, it appeared entirely abnormal fro the two of them to have such a strong relationship.

Jill Faust, a senior lead zookeeper in Folsom City stated that it was the first time that something like this happened for her entire career. Although they together made an awful pair, the zoo did its best to nurture the relationship.


Choosing The Biggest Friend
While Little Bear meandered around the zoo however they wanted, feline settled on an intriguing decision for a closest companion. Little Bear looked into one of the zoo’s biggest creatures. Deciding to get to know a 500-pound mountain bear named Sequoia.

While Sequoia had never truly been forceful in nature, the animal specialists despite everything needed to watch out for the surprising pair to ensure that Little Bear wasn’t in any genuine peril.


It Was Beneficial For The Zoo
Most zoos and other wildlife asylums, shockingly, endure monetarily and need all the assistance they with canning get the opportunity to keep up the grounds and accommodate the creatures. Fortunately for the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary, Sequoia and Little Bear’s relationship served to significantly expand pedestrian activity at the zoo.

People were coming from all over to observe for themselves a little house feline and a 550-pound bear spending time with one another. For some, the sight was staggering. It was the first that they saw such a thing.


Little Bear Acted Like A Big Bear
Even though Little Bear was a small amount of the size and weight of Sequoia and different bears in the nook, she never appeared to be threatened by any of them. On the off chance that anything, the feline gave off an impression of being truly agreeable around their recently received bear family.

For a large part of the day, Little Bear could be seen unwinding in the shade given by the trees in the fenced-in area as Sequoia and different bears continued ahead. A few people even accept that Little Bear may have thought they were a bear as well!


Loving The Attention
During her time unwinding at the zoo, and particularly the bear enclosure, Little Bear was adoring the entirety of the consideration they were getting from the guests. Regardless of sticking around different creatures that could kill her at any subsequent, she showed up totally loose.

More like Muschi and Mäuschen, Little Bear and Sequoia had become an inseparable couple. The visitors left the zoo with amazement, scratching their heads. Like the Berlin couple, it seemed that there was strong bondage between them.


Friends Until The End
Both Muschi and Mäuschen and Little Bear and Sequoia are both without a doubt weird connections between two felines and two bears. Albeit every relationship is one of a kind in their own specific manners, the two kinships have demonstrated that we may not know as much about creature conduct as we might suspect.

Both sets of friends have lived so long now as the best of friends. There’s no doubt that their relationship would grow more and more each day. We now understand how wrong we were to believe friendships like this only existed in Disney movies!


This Monkey Was Found Orphaned And Scared For His Life
An infant vervet monkey was found on the side of a road in Zimbabwe whose life was so gloomy then. He had tucked himself to his mother when some good Samaritans found him and they took him to an animal sanctuary. There were no monkeys of his kind, but this little dude becomes who he is today not because of human beings!

This monkey is called Horace who now lives at the Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary In Zimbabwe, Africa. “His mom had been hit by a car on a very busy highway. He was found sitting on her body, on the side of the road. He’s lucky that he got picked up by the right person, who then brought him here,” Twala founder Sarah Carter told The Dodo in 2016.


The Baby Monkey Was Timid In The Caring Hands Of Humans
Horace was just a weak baby when he came to the Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary. This poor little guy might have been scared initially in his new environment. Yet, fortunately, he had finally come to good hands.

Twala gives a safe refuge for many helpless wild beings who need help. Consequently, the asylum is home to many different creatures like cats, dogs, lions, and antelope. You might wonder that the situation turned worse, but you’d be surprised when you know what happened next.


Some Unlikely Creatures Were There To Help Horace Fit In
It might have been terrifying to encounter all kinds of different animals in the same place for a baby vervet like Horace. Gratefully, all the other animals at the sanctuary seemed welcoming to the new member.

“Since we had so many orphans at the time, and not enough hands, we had to raise everyone together… They just formed this relationship, which is great,” says Carter. It was just up to Horace to be friends with his new roommates. Shockingly, not only the kittens wanted to be friends with Horace, but also the other animals wanted too.


It Took Some Time, But Horace Eventually Warmed Up To Them
As Horace grew up at Twala, he started getting used to his new companions. The salvage has an assortment of wild and household creatures, however, Horace was first attracted to the similarly delightful cats.

I might be because they were less terrifying as they were similar in size and after all, who could be afraid of a kitten? Yet, not long, Horace began to get closer to the other older members of the asylum who had already accepted the monkey as one of them.


Horace Developed A Special Connection With The Cats
Not long, Horace was comfortable enough to hug his new cat friends. Horace most probably felt a special bond towards them as they were around him all the time as he was growing up.

Besides his human overseers, these cats likely felt committed to thinking about this stranded monkey. Many individuals consider felines to be finicky creatures, yet here you can plainly perceive how open and cherishing they can be – particularly towards different creatures!


Soon The Other Animals Started Warming Up To Horace Too
Entirely soon, Horace was warming up to a greater amount of the creatures at Twala. Perhaps the nearest buddy would be Keiko, one of a few salvage hounds who additionally inhabited the haven.

Twala is home for many wild and domestic animals who’ve either been abandoned or abused. Sarah Carter and her team work hard to ensure the safety of these animals and to provide them with a better nurturing environment.


Horace Developed A Reputation For Some Particular Things
As he grew up, Horace earned notoriety for resting a great deal. Horace tends to nod off anyplace, particularly when he’s snuggling with one of his catlike companions. It must be the solace of having somebody around to cause you to feel secured.

“Horace is a master napper. He fights it though as he is afraid he will miss something… And he loves to nap and sleeps anywhere he pleases,” Carter told Daily Mail in 2015. How Horace behaves will definitely make you laugh!


Horace Is Like A Real-Life Curious George
Horace has even warmed up to the inhabitant impala at Twala. He may appear to be somewhat of an aggravation, yet the creatures realize that it’s simply Horace’s energetic and inquisitive nature. There will never be any obvious roughhousing between these creatures.

“Horace is hugely confident and affectionate having been raised in a very diverse and loving environment at Twala,” says Carter. “He has many friends, human and animal, and is seldom alone. He is mischievous, extremely clever, and endlessly entertaining.”


Horace Always Wants What He Knows He Can’t Have
“His biggest vice is being irresistibly drawn to the forbidden food he is not allowed to eat, places he shouldn’t be, objects he is not supposed to touch,” Carter told Daily Mail.

Horace may be sneaky sometimes as he steals food, but it’s a good time of him that it was really snack time when this photo was snapped. The animals of the salvage share their meals and they always get a buffet of fresh fruits and vegetables.


Horace Is More Mischievous Than Meets The Eye
Here are Horace and occupant salvage feline Freddie. Horace gives off an impression of being snoozing on the head of Freddie, yet Carter cautions that could conceivably be a ploy. Such an actor!

She told Daily Mail, “Horace always makes me laugh, he is a consummate thief – he pretends to be otherwise engaged whilst sidling up to you to pinch a pen or a bit of paper or food. He will also come and cuddle someone, person or animal, as a ploy to distract them to steal something.”


Horace Finds Fascination In Everything
“He is insatiably curious – into everything, and often comes and watches me writing or typing with absolute fascination, before stealing my pen or jumping on the keyboard,” Carter said.

Different creatures at the haven don’t appear to mind. Truth be told, they are glad to permit Horace’s interest to prosper. At Twala, the creatures wonderfully coincide without having their creature senses take a risky turn. This is most likely gratitude to the supporting condition in which they were raised.


Horace Likes To Roam With The Cats At Night
Here are more reasons why Horace was called an actor. Sometimes, he appeared so much into his friends’ characteristics. Though he is a vervet monkey, Horace tends to act like a cat.

“He runs around in the middle of the night, in the dark, with the cats. All the other monkeys got to sleep when it starts to get dark because that’s their instinct. Meanwhile, Horace is busy running around the garden at 10 o’clock at night. He’s a character,” Carter told The Dodo.


Horace Thinks He Is A Little Prince Among His Friends
Being the drowsy monkey that he is, Horace is once in a while too apathetic to even think about walking all alone. Be that as it may, no concerns! Keiko is glad to give Horace a ride to any place he needs to circumvent the asylum.

Horace might be developing into his grown-up years, yet he despite everything likes to act like the child of the bundle. His canine and feline companions, entertainingly irritated as they may appear in the photographs, in any event, treat Horace like their own infant sibling.


Horace Likes To Ponder The Complexities Of Life When He’s Not Running Around
Horace has obviously enhanced a personality his own as well. Though growing up in an asylum is entirely different from growing up in the wild, Horace shows some unique characteristics which make him distinctive from the others of his kind.

“He is a thinker – often sits gazing into the middle distance, twirling a leaf or a flower or a twig in his hands, totally lost in thought,” Carter told Daily Mail. We can only wonder what Horace might be daydreaming!


Horace’s Support System
Horace and different creatures are fortunate to have been found and taken to Twala. They’ll grow up with a solid emotionally supportive network that probably won’t have been conceivable notwithstanding the various cluster of occupants.

Some people might say this is not compatible with how Horace really is, but Carter would disagree. “Here [he] has friends and he’s safe. He has the backup of everyone here at the sanctuary – people and animals,” she told The Dodo.


Pairing Animals With Different Species Is Actually Healing
Freddie is one of Horace’s favorite snuggling buddies ad you can see in the picture below. Although Sarah Cater’s sanctuary is of different species, all the animals prove that they merely share an empathetic instinct.

“We get lots of orphaned animals coming in, so you can’t always pair them with the same animal. But for them to be able to be with another creature is really healing and comforting for them, no matter if they’re different,” said Carter.


When Another Baby Vervet Came, Horace Took Responsibility
Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary attempts to match creatures with their equivalent species on the off chance that they can. So when another vervet vagrant came tot he asylum, they realized exactly who to match him with!

Since Horace is more seasoned, he deals with newcomers at whatever point they’re brought into the haven. This little monkey is Hamish, who was a vagrant simply like Horace. Horace felt an exceptional association with this little person since Hamish is suggestive of himself as an infant.


Horace Showed Hamish The Comforts Of Cuddling
Hamish was appended to Horace for quite a bit of his childhood in the asylum. Obviously, Horace was glad to oblige to offer solace. Yet, that didn’t imply that Horace despite everything didn’t require comfort all alone!

Carter disclosed to The Dodo that Horace has given them how much solace creatures of various species can discover comfort inside one another. “We learned that from Horace,” she said. “They form these amazing bonds. It just brings so much comfort to all of them.”


Horace’s Playfulness Ended With Him Losing An Arm
Though Horace is an adult now, he has not yet stopped getting into trouble. In 2016, T-Twala shared shocking news about Horace. He suffered a massive electrical shock from a power line.

“He was found unconscious and severely burnt on both arms. It is an absolute miracle that he survived such a massic shock… Horace has always lived free, as he should do, but… we cannot protect him from the many dangers that animals face in the world,” they wrote on Facebook.


Horace Can Go Back To The Wild, But Why Would He?
Though he was able to survive the shock, the vets had to amputate one of his arms in order to keep him alive. Yet, it never makes him less energetic. When he got recovered, he went back to his rocking life at the sanctuary.

“Horace is free to go wherever he wants. Nothing is stopping him from leaving. He chooses to stay… He really does have the best life,” Carter told The Dodo. Horace has now turned into a healthy and grown vervet. It’s not the sanctuary that makes him stay, it’s a matter of having nowhere to go!
