Baby skunks raised alongside kitten at Lyon Ranch in Sonoma

https://www.sonomanews.com/lifestyle/9809026-181/baby-skunks-raised-alongside-kitten

The first time Newspaper, a baby skunk, met Extra Extra, a rescue ragdoll kitten, it went about as well as can be expected.

Newspaper stomped her feet and did a handstand, a sign of agitation and a warning that the little skunk might spray the kitten. The kitten, in typical ragdoll fashion, simply flopped over on the floor, eager to play.

This skunk, however, cannot spray.

Extra Extra, their color-coordinated kitten counterpart, is on hand to help them learn how to be domesticated. Like cats, skunks like to play and are a bit mischievous, making the two species a well-balanced pair. They play together, share a litter box and will grow up together.

Look at the expression on that kittehs face in the photo gallery - lol
