An adorable ocelot kitten called Santos was brought in the Cincinnati zoo eleven weeks ago and managed to become great friends with the nursery companion dog for new animals, Blakely.

Despite common beliefs on the relationship between cats and dogs, the two got along incredibly well. Sadly for them, they have to part ways as Santos will be leaving the nursery to prepare for the Cincinnati Zoo's Cheetah Encounter Show in the summer.

The Zoo's Cat Ambassador Program offers visitors the chance to see trained cats in bars-free environments and Santos will be their newest addition.

Before separating the two animals, the zookeepers gave them the chance to play one last time and released the adorable video online.

The bittersweet moment is an amazing display of cuteness as the two share an amazing play session, as if they knew they were about to part ways.
