Pals: Arturo with Oscar the cat
A lonely polar bear kept in sweltering conditions has found friendship at last – with a stray cat.

Thousands of animal lovers joined a campaign to move Arturo after the Sunday People revealed in July he was living in a zoo where the ­temperature reaches 40C (104F).

The 900lb captive, whose bear companion died two years ago, has only a 50cm (20in) deep pool, has ­become a father-figure to Oscar.

The pair keep each other ­company during the day, cuddle up at night and even share food.
