Cat’s prank
The video starts with a dog peacefully resting on a pet bed in a cosy corner of its home. A brave cat cautiously approaches the dog, with two more feline friends following behind, seemingly offering moral support.
As the cat plucks up the courage to approach the dog, it suddenly gets spooked and dashes off in a panic, while a fourth cat peeks from behind the dog. The bewildered dog looks on as if it has no idea what just happened.

One Reddit user suggested the dog was trying to avoid getting involved in the cat's antics. Another humorously speculated that the dog might be a bodyguard for the true rulers of the household – the cats.
The presence of the fourth cat behind the dog left people wondering if it was the cause of the cat's fright. Some users referred to the trio of cats as a "little cat gang," and others found it amusing how the cats and the dog appeared to be in sync, with the fourth cat simply observing in peace.
