OWL AND PUSSYCAT - BEST FRIENDS, AS IN THE POEM

Flirtatious: While they don't go to sea in a pea-green boat, the pair certainly seem taken with each other

  • Edward Lear's famous poem is about an owl and pussycat who fall in love
  • Cleo and Forbi are long time friends and belong to biologist AndrĂ© Costa
  • Mr Costa hopes their friendship will inspire people to be kind to animals

  • She nuzzles his cheek, before coquettishly pawing his face. He watches admiringly as she stretches flirtatiously.   And while there is no pea-green boat filled with honey and plenty of money, wrapped up in a five pound note, these two are clearly very fond of each other.

     Just like in Edward Lear's 1871 poem, The Owl And The Pussycat, this unlikely duo have formed a close bond, as seen in a video uploaded to Facebook

    Unlikely friendship:The pets belong to Brazilian biologist André Costa

    Fiction to real life: In the famous nonsense poem, the owl and pussycat, who are in love, take to sea in a pea-green boat and sail for a year and a day.
