It’s always amazing to witness how different animals react to each other in various situations.
We know that different species can see one another as a threat, so we can’t always expect them to be so trusting, especially the females looking after their young.
However, when they have that strong foundation of trust, love, and care, especially when they’re known each other for a long time, we’re blessed with so many adorable interactions and can’t help but gush over them – just like these two unlikely siblings-slash-BFFs.
This female German Shepherd puppy was curious about what her dear cat friend was up to.
Jessie probably hadn’t seen her cat friend Dora for quite a while already, and she could sense she was somewhere in their house.
When the time was right, her fur parents finally allowed her to see her dearest friend.
However, Jessie noticed that Dora wasn’t alone.
She came in with a toy in her mouth, expecting that they get to play again, but immediately dropped it when she noticed that Dora was surrounded by kittens around her.
Some were sleeping while others were nursing.
Curious, the pup sniffed the bed to find out what the mama cat was up to.
Jessie seemed cautious at first, sniffing until she could figure out what to do.
The sight of Dora nursing her newborn kittens excited her, that she wanted to reach out and touch them, but she was still worried that she might hurt her friend.
There was even a point when the mama cat hissed at Jessie!
This is a normal behavior of a mother cat who recently gave birth.
A mother cat usually behaves aggressively towards humans and other animals, even those they often interact with.
It’s because they feel threatened and need to protect their babies.
Their fur mom sometimes would stop Jessie from giddiness because she might hurt Dora’s kittens.
Still, this didn’t stop her from studying the scene.
Slowly but gently, she moved around Dora and started licking her lightly, and the mama cat recognized that Jessie wasn’t there to hurt her or her babies.
After all, they’re family.
In the end, Jessie laid down by Dora’s side as if comforting her at that moment.
The mama cat looked tired as her kittens suckled and kneaded on her belly, and her dog sibling was beside her.
What a sweet moment these two shared, and while Jessie is still a puppy, she could learn a mothering tip or two from Dora.
This adorable moment reached 23M views on YouTube, and viewers loved this precious interaction.
One user’s comment was on point, saying:
“The trust and patience that cat is showing [are] remarkable!! In my experience, a lot of animal moms (cats and dogs) are quite protective of their babies and don’t let anyone near them besides their trusted human (if even that), so it’s absolutely beautiful to see the cat letting her puppy friend give her kisses and say hello to the kittens.”
