The Owl and the Pussycat: a Purr-fect Pair
The twit-twosome
Cosy in the coffee shop
The owl and the pussycat are best of friends, in this Japanese coffee house.
Ever since pictures of the unlikely duo sent the Internet wild, business has been booming at Hukulou Coffee in Nakazaki district, in the city of Osaka, southern Japan.
It’s a variation on the popular cafes, where people can go to pet domestic cats, which are kept there specially to bond with visitors.
Now they have been joined by a Scottish Fold kitten, named Marimo - who’s become buddies with a baby owl called Fuku.
Owl take care of you
The owner hoped that the pair would get on, but was surprised by just how well they hit it off!
They even sleep snuggled together, with the kitten growing faster than his own companion.
Every table is constantly full, as word spreads and curiosity grows, with customers wanting to witness this quirky union, for themselves.
