Kitten begs a two-day-old baby deer to play
A newborn fawn is resting outside Miro's front door, and the kitten has decided the two of them are going to be friends. Nobody asked the fawn. more
Miro and her owner find him just outside the door. The kitten wants a closer look, and she wants it all to herself. For a while she waits by the gate, head down, before she makes a move.
SaveThen she goes in. She taps the top of his head with a paw. Nothing happens, so she taps again.
She tries licking him. She puts her nose right up to his ear and sniffs. The fawn lets all of it happen without a twitch, his eyes wide open.
SaveAt one point Miro tries a new idea. She drops down and lies flat on her belly, the same way he is lying, as if the trick is to do what he does. He gives no sign that he noticed.
The fawn isn't being rude. Miro's owner learns later that he's just 48 hours old, too young to walk or to answer a kitten. While his mother is off feeding, his only defense is to lie low and keep still, even with a tabby patting his head. He's doing it perfectly.
SaveNot long after, the doe comes back and takes her baby home. Miro never gets her game, but the fawn gets his mother back.
