Animals can be selective about the other creatures they let into their lives. This is one of the reasons why some dogs don’t like other dogs. This is also a good reason why cross-species bonds happen.

One adorable otter is going viral online.

It’s not because she stole a fish or created a huge mess at home. She’s takings social media by storm because of his unique routine during bedtime.

And right after giving her friend a hug, the 3-year-old otter falls asleep quickly and for long periods of time. It’s probably her way to avoid insomnia for good.

Most of the people who’ve seen it have nothing but praises for the pair.

One of the viewers commented:

“This is one of the beautiful thing in this world because … They are different species but still accept each other with understandings … ❤️”

Another one said:

“Both Sakura and Mochi are very special creatures, well loved and precious. Mako, you are very lucky to have them. And they are lucky to have you as their human. Thank you for the videos”

A YouTube user shared:

“Oh my God! Cutest thing in the world! They are Godly sweet! My blessings to those 2 angels and their human parents for taking such lovely care!”

The pair are the best of friends.

Cats are moody animals. If you own one, you’d know how grumpy they can get at times. Fortunately, this cat’s not like that.

Mochi has a high tolerance for Sakura’s hugs and it’s not something he was able to develop overnight. It’s certainly a product of being together all the time.

Since Mochi and Sakura got together, they’ve been inseparable.
