Interspecies friendships? FUCK YEAH! KnowYourMeme has some better-known ones. The titular kittens. (Interspecies love previously and previously.)

Hot hot inter-species cuteness! Yassss.

But I suspect this dog is more lovable idiot than interspecies pal.

I grew up pretty much across the street from Koko. She lived on Skyline Blvd, overlooking Woodside and Portola Valley.

Loki's always had a soft spot for the time tabbees, just like me.

Somehow, Koko always needs new kittens.

Robin Williams had a tale of a very, very different type of inter-species thing involving Koko...

I CRY EVERY FUCKING TIME OVER KOKO'S BAD SAD BAD FROWN DEAD CAT.

Also, considering naming new cat ALL BALL.

OMG. All Ball escaped and was hit by a car and died. And yeah, that happened in 1984 but bad sad bad, guys.

Typical of Loki to make autocorrect change the names of perfectly nice, cat-loving gorillas to his own, and then make me miss the edit window.

It seems like Koko has been around forever.

If you’re on iOS, Unobstruct might help.

Find yourself someone who’s as excited to see you as this goose.

Y'all realize that all house cats are in an interspecies relationship (cat/human)?

Cat/human is not so much a relationship as a dictatorship.

Well, I'm crying, and it's been a pretty good day. Koko has made me cry many times.


I'm sorry, Koko. Man is stupid.
