The kitten from next door gets a close look at the fawn.

They hit it off right away. The kitten seems fascinated by the fawn, and the fawn is just as taken with the kitten. One commenter imagines what each one is thinking: that is a weird-looking cat, says the kitten, and that's a weird-looking deer, says the fawn.

Through all of it, a rooster in the background keeps crowing. One person tells him that everyone heard him the first fifty times, and thousands agree. It's a gentle scene with a very loud soundtrack, and for plenty of people the rooster is half the fun.
