We tend to think of cats and dogs as natural enemies, but there’s plenty of evidence that that’s a myth. Plenty of animals can be brought up together to become the best of friends despite the differences in their species.
Not every pair gets off to a good start. Then again, there are cats and dogs who end up becoming the best of friends.
Today, we’re getting a kick out of this adorable pair – Bleu and Beck.
Beck the German Shepherd didn’t know how to react when his family brought home little Bleu.
Beck wasn’t outright hostile, but he sure was hesitant to share his home with this tiny, strange, new creature.
At first, he’d watch from a distance as the kitten bounced around, and sit still beside his pet parents while the kitten slept in its carrier.
While Bleu didn’t get the warmest welcome from the German Shepherd, at least Beck was nice enough not to openly provoke the kitten or make it feel that it wasn’t welcome. He was simply getting used to having Bleu around.
But with patience and assurance from his pet parents (and allowing the two to somehow interact at their own pace), things started to get better.
Beck realized the kitten was just really, really playful. So he started to warm up to it.

From simply watching it and walking away to eventually letting it pounce all over him and play with his ears, Beck finally realized this kitten was potential best friend material.
The gentle German Shepherd would eventually let the kitten play with him as much as it wanted. Beck would let it jump about near him and would barely flinch even as Bleu played with his ears and well, basically invaded his space.
It was the beginning of a wonderful friendship.
Pretty soon, the two would play in the grass together, chasing each other and exploring the yard.
When they were indoors, they’d still find ways to play together.
Bleu would bat at Beck and Beck would playfully try to sniff and nudge the kitten’s paw with his nose.
They’re too cute!
Whether Bleu wanted more warmth or simply wanted to show affection towards Beck, Beck became okay with it.
Bleu would snuggle up to the German Shepherd and sometimes even use its legs as another toy.
It’s safe to say they balanced each other out perfectly.
As the kitten grew, so did their bond. Now, they’re an inseparable duo.
Whenever Bleu is horsing around and trying to bug him, the German Shepherd lets the cat have fun.
Trust us, you’ll love watching these two play together!
