Butterball the duck and Kimmy Kitty have become inseparable at a rescue centre in Atlanta, Georgia
Adorable footage of the pair shows the cat lying on the ground while the duck rubs its fur with its beak.
When the rescue centre's owner took in the animals, he was not expecting them to become so close.
The owner said: 'I've got the reputation around town of taking in just about any needy oddball animal that needs a home.
'We've had countless orphaned ducklings, miscellaneous chickens, random turtles and quail, and one sweet goose.

According to the owner of the rescue centre, the duo play together every single day
'Butterball the duck was attacked at a local pond and left for dead, but I found a vet who saved her.
'Kimmy Kitty was found in an exterior apartment stairwell at about two weeks old.
'The bassets are from Basset Hound Rescue of Georgia. Butterball got bored with the bassets and became fast friends with Kimmy, and they play every single day.'
