“Oh, yeah… a little more to the left… yesssssss, that’s the spot… now, do the ears… and the other one… ohhhh, that’s the ticket… now, nibble my neck while humming the National Anthem of Uruguay… the album version, not the single… ohhhh, you know what I need, baby…”

Was it good for you, Meghan H.?

Lick, lick, lick, lick, lick…! :-)

…In the immortal words of Salt ‘n Pepa (among others):

“Oooooh, babeh, BA-beh!!!”

(Do cats have a cigarette in the afterglow, too??)

3 GingerBean 07.20.09 at 5:58 am

The part they don’t show is 20 minutes later the deer hacks up a hairball. :p

4 Deb! 07.20.09 at 5:58 am

I’d bet that cat was purring loudly!

That deer won’t be returned to the wild. The rescue has to keep it, now that it and kitty are best buds!

5 pyrit 07.20.09 at 6:04 am

GingerBean – At 1:42, it looks like a preparatory “…hack! … oh, I’m OK. (lick, lick, lick)”

6 T.U.M. 07.20.09 at 6:13 am

Holy Crow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat quite that stripey. I bet he sets off bar-code scanners just walking past the grocery store.

7 Juno 07.20.09 at 6:31 am

What beautiful stripes! God, I love tabbies. And of course I love to see one so happy and spoiled.

8 AndreaJN 07.20.09 at 6:35 am

It’s so hard to reach that back-of-the-head area oneself. :-) I love it when kitties lean into a good rub.

9 platedlizard 07.20.09 at 6:49 am

That was a combination leecking and full-body massage! No wonder kitty loved it.

10 gryt 07.20.09 at 6:50 am

Interspecies leecking. <3

11 Sue 07.20.09 at 6:51 am

The deer has a ‘pleh!’ moment near the end..

“Flangin’ hair-coated tongue… HATE that!”

12 GingerBean 07.20.09 at 6:55 am

@pyrit- OMG I didn’t notice that! LOL Total pre-hairball face…so funny to see it on a deer!

13 Chas Underwood III 07.20.09 at 7:08 am

Amazing…I thought they were going to scrap towards the end when the hoof came up but the deer realized what a viscious killer she was dealing with ;) I am adding the word “Überleeck” to my Foreign Words post at http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com. I don’t know what it means but I love umlauts!

[OK, time to stop pimping your blog now. I appreciate you staying on topic, but from here on out, if you want to advertise, there's a link at the top right. Got it? - Ed.]

14 Ev's mum 07.20.09 at 7:23 am

Now see — *I* need no further proof of a Creator. If two such unlike animals can have this sort of loving moment, what’s wrong with people, People????

15 Estlin 07.20.09 at 7:26 am

That cat is blissed out of his/her mind.

16 Kar 07.20.09 at 7:36 am

Do you need a cigarette?

17 Kristabelle 07.20.09 at 7:50 am

That is one happy kitty cat!

18 Jon 07.20.09 at 7:55 am

Notice the Pea Hen in the background stealing focus.

19 marmar 07.20.09 at 7:56 am

at the end if someone saying “Where’s Barky?”

20 Nicolletta 07.20.09 at 8:10 am

Don’t worry, deer; I’ll still respect you in the morning. ;P

21 Katrina 07.20.09 at 8:11 am

Big, stripedy happy cat. I too thought the mood was going to turn there for a second, I’m glad it didn’t. I am wondering if this is a frequent thing or a one-night standup.

22 emudoug 07.20.09 at 8:29 am

i can’t blame that deer, that kitty looks like it has a flavor.

23 Catsquatch 07.20.09 at 8:31 am

That is one comfortable cat, because he has no sensation anymore!

I once had a deer clean my entire arm, then follow me around chewing on the back of my tee shirt.
Deer have a substance in their saliva that numbs skin, probaby for assistance in healing and pain relief when injured.
The skin on my arm was numb for almost 15 hours despite washing several times.

I have no idea what will happen when that cat cleans himself and ingests the substance left by the deer, probably nothing, but I hope the humans keep an eye on him.

Cool video though, I just love interspecies snorgling ;D

24 kasey at thriftylittleblog 07.20.09 at 8:47 am

HA!

25 BonzoGal 07.20.09 at 8:52 am

Pause it at 1:45. Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!

26 Johanna 07.20.09 at 8:53 am

They simply canNOT release that deer to the wild. The kitties out there wouldn’t put up with this sort of thing.

27 Marian 07.20.09 at 8:57 am

“[leeck] There you go, honey.”
“Thanks, deer, that was lovely!”

28 KittyAdventures 07.20.09 at 9:13 am

LOLOLOL
And you will be my kitty ..and I shall leeck you.. and you will like it. And I wll call you George.

29 5^^now8ing 07.20.09 at 9:28 am

TUM – bar codes – LOL!!

Catsquatch – skin-numbing saliva?? [that wide-eye emoticon here]

30 5^^now8ing 07.20.09 at 9:29 am

Oops – just realized square brackets should be reserved for the sole use of beloved Theo! Sowwy!

(It’s O-O — no, maybe o.o? — see, this is why I need a crib sheet)

31 Patito Gigante 07.20.09 at 9:36 am

[shifty eyes]

32 Theresa 07.20.09 at 9:37 am

That is the stripiest cat I’ve ever seen.

33 KittyAdventures 07.20.09 at 9:37 am

[Giggling at Patito and 5now8]

34 SketchRx 07.20.09 at 9:44 am

Wow, that was amazing. The best I’ve ever had. Promise me it won’t be the last time, deer?

35 Theresa 07.20.09 at 9:49 am

@5^^now8ing : 8O?

36 Theresa 07.20.09 at 9:49 am

Arrgh, 8O

37 chet, ruby, and miaoux's mommeh 07.20.09 at 9:59 am

less work for kitty later

38 Patito Gigante 07.20.09 at 10:12 am

Then the cat gets sent home from work because she smells like grass.

39 Maol 07.20.09 at 10:23 am

Aww! The cat’s enyoing it. ^_^ I wonder if the deer’s got a lot of cat hair on it’s tongue?

40 Nina 07.20.09 at 10:27 am

The only thing wrong with this video are the people talking in the background about something OTHER than this adorable pairing. It’s like they don’t even notice until around 1:45. I agree that you simply cannot separate the kitty from the deer now.

41 5^^now8ing 07.20.09 at 10:31 am

Theresa – Yeah — how to do, please?

42 Skip 07.20.09 at 10:39 am

Hahaha @ the woman’s voice in the background: “LOOK at the expression on that cat’s face!”

43 Juno 07.20.09 at 10:41 am

I thought the deer was raising its hoof to rub the kitty’s cheek.

I will NEVER let my cats see this–they’d start demanding a deer of their own.

44 StormCat 07.20.09 at 10:48 am

TUMS – LOL!! I busted out with that one…

I agree with Nina… How could NOT talk about this anerable pair??? I could only hear the Kitteh meow once, although he seemed to be meowing quite often… And who wouldn’t? I can only imagine that a bath given by someone so deerly beloved would be the cat’s whiskers!!

*wide eyed innocent stare*

45 April 07.20.09 at 11:02 am

What do you give deer for hairballs?

46 Theresa 07.20.09 at 11:05 am

@5^^now8ing it’s the number 8 plus capital O.

47 5^^now8ing 07.20.09 at 11:37 am

8O

48 5^^now8ing 07.20.09 at 11:37 am

Squeeee! tanks bunches!

49 shivikai 07.20.09 at 12:15 pm

They should offer this as a service. “Deer cleanup for kitties”.

SLOOOOORP.

50 Theresa 07.20.09 at 12:46 pm

PS Would everybody spare a thought for the family of the late Frank McCourt, best-selling author of “Angela’s Ashes,” who was also my 10th and 11th grade English teacher?

51 Brat 07.20.09 at 12:49 pm

Was I the only one who wished she was that cat?

52 nismo 07.20.09 at 12:53 pm

I love interspecies BFF!

53 Jinjee 07.20.09 at 1:37 pm

That was me with the Furminator on my cat yesterday. I swear sometimes she can instantly regrow fur.

Back OT: glad we don’t have a follow-up vid.
Hork hork hork hork hork

54 5^^now8ing 07.20.09 at 2:18 pm

Theresa — I had read this morning of Mr. McCourt’s passing and even tho I’ve not read his work, based on CO peep recommendness, I will totally spare a thought for him! Pretty cool to have had a best-selling author as a high-school teacher! R.I.P.

55 Desiree 07.20.09 at 2:31 pm

I wonder if kitty’s friend the deer ends up with a hair ball. So sweet, regardless.

56 Karl 07.20.09 at 3:39 pm

This brings up a new Rule of Cuteness(tm) that I’ve been meaning to propose for a while now:
Love and snorgling between different species of animal is cute.

57 Rivahcat 07.20.09 at 3:42 pm

Thass it… I am now offishally a Puddle of Goo.

*squeeing*

58 Mary (the first) 07.20.09 at 4:52 pm

er .. Karl? That’s called “Interspecies snorgling”. It’s already a topic. 8O

59 Mary (the first) 07.20.09 at 4:53 pm

and by “topic” I mean, Rule of Cuteness. Where did topic come from ??

60 Hayley 07.20.09 at 5:01 pm

Shutthefrontdoor!
Thersea that’s really cool.
Are you still a NYer?

And I think I want to come back as this cat for my next life…

61 Karl 07.20.09 at 5:11 pm

Mary (the first):

‘Doh! I looked, but missed it.

62 kibblenibble 07.20.09 at 5:13 pm

Theresa: I was sad to hear that Mr. McCourt passed away. Angela’s Ashes was one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read. You are fortunate to have had this talented man as a teacher. (I bet you already knew that.)

BTW I loved watching this video. Both animals seemed to be enjoying the company of the other. :-)

63 Noelegy 07.20.09 at 5:48 pm

Theresa, how amazing for you that you had the experience of being taught by Mr. McCourt.

Deer licking kitteh = SQUEE.

64 DogEared 07.20.09 at 5:51 pm

@ Brat: agreed. if i could never reach the back of my neck, i would want my own deer for that too.

..and love the comment about the bar-codes….ahahahahahaha.

65 Theresa 07.20.09 at 5:59 pm

@Hayley and Kibblenibble, he was extraordinary as a teacher, and would have been an institution if he had never written his books. He had an incredible ability to constantly battle our adolescent capacity for boredom, and weaselly whining. You never knew what to expect. Some days he would treat us like graduate students, and some like preschool. ;) Somehow, as teenagers, it was just what we needed. Some days we would start a class with a song– he loved to sing. “Nancy Whiskey,” or “The Cuckoo, She’s a Pretty Bird,” or “I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You.” I’ll never forget when he stalked into class looked around at all of this and exclaimed “Who is this BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN that he should be on the covers of both Time and Newsweek?” Oh Lord, I get tears of laughter just thinking about him.

66 kibblenibble 07.20.09 at 8:08 pm

Theresa, thank you for sharing that. I find it very inspiring. I teach first grade. It’s lovely to hear how a teacher touched your life. That means a lot. He sounds like a lovely man.

67 Teresa 07.20.09 at 8:13 pm

AWW :) That kitty looked like it was in kitty heaven getting a licking from that deer :) I wonder if that deer is releaseable :( Its back looks funny like it has a hump on it :(

68 kitty 07.20.09 at 9:20 pm

aww, their buddies. :]

69 Barbarella a.k.a. The Mad Cat Lady 07.21.09 at 1:40 am

Tabby: “I don´t care if I´m covered in Deer Spit – this feels soooo good!”

Deer: “Hmm, definitely not one of mine! Needs a clean though, here you go…”

Those markings on that tabby are just stunning! It´s beautiful to see how two so different species can be so loving with each other.

…and T.U.M. Holy Crow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat quite that stripey. I bet he sets off bar-code scanners just walking past the grocery store. – That comment really made me laugh. ;D

70 Kar 07.21.09 at 6:06 am

Thanks for sharing your stories Theresa. I wish that I had had such a teacher. I get the impression that he was prouder of being a teacher who had made an impact than any literary prize.

I finally ordered my copy of “The McCourts of Limerick.” I loved his stories and how the sheer geography of his street shaped his language and perceptions.

71 Katrina 07.21.09 at 7:26 am

…and who is DOING the rating? [You! Me! Everybody! - Ed.]

(My rating comments are going backward in time, by the way.)

72 Babs 07.21.09 at 9:01 am

Uh-oh. Once a deer gets a taste for cat… well, it can get ugly.

73 Little Critters Wildlife Rehabiltation Center 07.21.09 at 5:35 pm

That is awesome Sue!!! That cat is really enjoy his cleaning. Great video. Keep up the great work.

74 Karen 07.22.09 at 5:14 pm

I felt naughty just watching it…

75 aww 07.23.09 at 12:32 am

awe soooo sweeet

76 Nicole 07.23.09 at 5:34 am

I wonder if the deer got a fur ball?

77 Candy W. 07.23.09 at 5:57 am

This deer and cat think they have died and gone to Heaven! Arnold’s is a wonderful place. If you live in the central Florida area, you HAVE to go see it!
The place is like a mini zoo. The animals are nurtured, cared for and dearly loved by the owner and her assistant. I stumbled on the place a couple of years ago, and have planned vacations around visiting them. They are good people, and they do great work for the animals of central Florida.

78 violetgreen 07.23.09 at 6:08 am

Mmm…tastes like chickitten!

79 valerie 07.23.09 at 1:49 pm

Cat wash 50 cents

cracking up if that was a giraffe he would suck the kitty up!

80 masterwriter42 07.26.09 at 2:38 pm

“Nom nom nom”… I mean, “Lick lick lick”. Now, neither animal seems to mind this situation much, since it’s not much effort, but what if the deer suddenly demanded that the cat return the favor?

81 HAMSTERTRACKER dot nl 08.12.09 at 8:55 am

If just got an notification…i see why…Is so nice what nature always..have in ..beauty..

82 HAMSTERTRACKER dot nl 08.12.09 at 10:39 am

Hey..let’s go and hit the road men……see the world..cute lover’s
