ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (WLS) -- A viral video has cat lovers all over the world saying "aww!"



The video shows Dusya, a former stray housecat, and Linda, a European lynx, at the Leningrad Zoo in Saint Petersburg, Russia.





Zookeepers bought the cat to give the lynx a companion seven years ago, but weren't sure if the two animals would get along. Now the two animals are practically inseparable, and can often be seen snuggling and grooming each other.



The zoo has reportedly adopted the stray cat, which continues to live in harmony with its (much) larger relative, according to ABC News.
