December 2, 2011 My Deer Friend

[CaliforniaMama]

The moment was captured at the Odessa Zoo, Ukraine, and stopped visitors in their tracks as they passed by the enclosure.

As the baby deer rested in the shade during a warm summers day the domestic zoo cat approached.

After a quick hello both decided a bit of sleep was in order and the ginger moggy nestled peacefully into the side of the deer.

Photographer Vitaly Ktach snapped the special moments and said everyone was watching on in amazement.

While on a search for the photographer of the above image, I came across the below set of deer and cat pics. At first, I thought they were the same, but the deer in this second set doesn't have horns, just horn buds. Interesting how it could be the same cat in both pics.

The caption on this set of pics usually says something like this:

A cat in Harrisburg, (Oregon or Pennsylvania or neither,) is visited daily by its dear friend, the deer.

I have seen these pics all over the place, but so far, no source has been found . . .

Comment: This can't be real:

I'm glad people are getting more skeptical, but I fail to see why they think this can't be real.
