There have been many unusual tales of unlikely animal friendships which have warmed our hearts down the years.

The latest clip of animal companionship features a sloth called Prince stroking a cat to sleep in what could be the weirdest animal friendship yet.

Although we fear the relationship might be a little one-sided. Prince the sloth appears to be a tad keener on Daisy the cat than she is on him. Not surprisingly, perhaps, given the length of his claws.

Still, in a divided world, it's good to see people - sorry, species - getting together, isn't it?
