The Bear Cub Who Wasn’t Supposed To Be Born Finds A Friend In A Cat
This adorable female sun bear cub named Ka Wao formed an unlikely bond with a cat called George at the Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) rescue center.
“The mother bear, Gallamair, often befriends cats so her cub is copying this,” WFFT’s Tom Taylor told Bored Panda. “George was friends with the mother bear before the cub arrived. They seem to get along very well and spend lots of time together. All three of them often sit down and eat together. I think its good for her to have another friend to play with, she seems to enjoy the playfulness of George.”
Ka Wao wasn’t even supposed to be born. Her dad Kaka was vasectomized to prevent breeding as the organization does not promote unnecessary breeding of wild animals in captivity. However, Ka Wao proved that the operation wasn’t successful. Which worked out well for George, because now he has a gang of bears to look after him!

I think the most amazing pic is where the cub is holding the cat's tail in his mouth... and the cat doesn't seem to mind it!! Most cats don't want anyone touching their tail, let alone holding on to it. So the fact that George allows Ka Wao to do that truly shows how bonded they are! ---------------------- Meanwhile, the fact that ANY cat would be "friends" with a bear (even a cub), which would normally be a predator to a cat, is beyond amazing all by itself!! --------------- Now, re the vet who supposedly gave the dad a vasectomy... someone needs to go back to medical school, lol!!
PS - I see a lot of folks asking what kind of bear it is... but the very FIRST sentence in the article description at the top says it's a "female SUN BEAR". Does anyone read any more?
