Pet Skunk Learning to Play with Kitten Sibling Is Both Fascinating and Adorable

Are you ready for your daily dose of cuteness? This precious TikTok from @zooarcade put a smile on our faces that lasted for hours, and we just knew we had to share it. Not only is it adorable--it's captivating, too! 

In the first clip, Atari the domestic striped skunk is just learning how to socialize and play with her feline sibling. Just wait until you see all the progress she's made, though! 

Aww! The way they're playing together is beyond precious, but even Atari's little hops in the first clips made us swoon. Honestly, these two could commit a crime together and it would still be adorable!

"You got your pet skunk a cat!? I love it," wrote commenter @shannonf3. So do we! We're not sure what brought the kitten to the family, but we know they fit right in... even if it took a second for Atari to warm up to the idea. 

@Goldfishfiesta wrote "'She’s friendly!' Atari is like 'mmhmm. I scoots at ‘em like I sees ‘em!'" LOL, you're so right! This striped skunk has sass for days, and she won't let just anyone get close to her family. It seems like the kitty passed the test eventually, though! 

Viewer @tiktoktammy6 noticed someone waiting on the sidelines, and now we'll never unsee them. She said, "I like how the dog is the monitor haha. It's so cute." It's the best! Not only does it mean that Atari and her sibling have a referee for their sparring matches, but they have a big sibling watching over them, too.
