Opposites attract!
Instagram's newest odd couple is Casper and Romeo. The pet pair belongs to Rinsa Li from Christchurch, New Zealand. Casper is a smiley Samoyed dog, while Romeo is a grump-looking feline. Both the furry friends are incredibly fluffy and love to go on adventures together.
And while it might not look like 2-year-old Romeo is having the best time in some of the photos, that's just the peke-faced cat's appearance.
"Romeo looks grumpy but he is the sweetest cat I have ever met; he allows everyone to hold him and gives great cuddles," Li told Daily Mail about the feline.

The animal lover always wanted a cat but was worried about how Casper would react. After the 6-year-old dog spent an enjoyable playdate with a kitty belonging to Li's friend, Li decided to take the plunge.
Casper and Romeo kept their distance at first, but soon curiosity got the best of both of them. It only took a few weeks of adjustment for the duo to become inseparable. Now, the pair spends two hours of each day outside exploring New Zealand with their owner, who also happens to be a professional photographer.
