This is the moment a playful cockatoo tests his feline friend’s patience by waking him up from a nap and grooming him with his beak and black claws.

Simba the cat is happily taking a nap on the sofa in Hasselt, Belgium, when Zazoo the cockatoo starts playfully clawing and biting at his paws.

He then begins grooming around his face as Simba tries to ignore him and get on with his nap.

When Simba – who is a British Shorthair cat – wakes up he twitches his face and moves around while bearing his teeth in an effort to try and get Zazoo to go away. 

But that doesn’t stop him and at one point the cockatoo even puts his claws in the cat’s mouth. 

Simba seems then to give up and accept that he is going to be groomed by the nosy bird.
