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.
'The affectionate behaviour of the cat towards the young deer had myself and other visitors watching in disbelief,' explained Ktach.
'The cat seemed to really taking its time to run its fur along the deer, which must have felt very nice.
'It then sat down and they enjoyed gently rubbing their faces together. They looked in bliss!'

aw, sweet my kitty looks just like that.
There’s just something about those yellow/buff tabbies. I love them.
So cute.
There is a youtube video of a cat doing that to a shark, cats are shameless when it comes to wanting that attention.
I love marmalade kittehs!
Animals are better people than people!
That’s not a baby deer. It’s little, but it’s no baby.
me too.
That deer is just lovely!
Sweeeeeeeet! :)
I never heard the term ‘marmalade kitten’ before, but I love it—thanks!
I got one, he looks more orange than yellow. We are good buds. We have an agreement, he lives the life of Riley and I provide it for him. Works pretty well.
By far!
LOL
LOL!
Lol. Sounds like the arrangement my cat has with me. She gets everything she wants when she wants it, and I don’t get my life my miserable. ;)
The cat is just getting a taste before dinner.
