Recently, a video of a herd of deer surrounding a black cat and licking it took the Internet by storm. People can't get enough of it and can't stop sharing it.
The footage was shared by ViralHog and shows the cat calmly lying down and letting the deer lick his fur. The cat got a very strange grooming session, and he felt quite relaxed by it. People have speculated as to what was the cause of the strange behavior. Some thought that deer were being motherly while others said the cat's fur is a salty treat as it can contain dandruff that the deer view as a natural salt lick.
One person commented, “Deer, like most herbivores, require salt intake to help break down grasses, etc. consisting in their natural diet. Cats secrete salt naturally through their skin & collect it on their fur via salt trapped in the air moisture itself, hence free salt lick.”
Whatever the reason, the video is incredible and shows the special relationship that can form between different species.
Another viewer commented, “This is incredible. The Cat is enjoying every minute of it. Nothing but love. ”
