This adorable video first hit the online community a few days ago, and it pretty much became a viral sensation in a matter of hours.

The footage shows a cute kitten trying to befriend a hedgehog, or at least trying to make head and tail of the weird-looking creature that has somehow made its way into its home.

In all fairness, even if they do become friends, it might be a while before they can manage to share a warm embrace, simply because the hedgehog's spiky “fur” will always get in the way.

“I usually hate video like this. But this is the most precious [...] thing I have ever seen,” reads one comment to this video.

“Cute cute cute! The song cover is amazing too, thanks for sharing that!” another one says.
