We’ve probably all heard (or even said) the phrase “fighting like cats and dogs” at least once in our lives, used to describe two animals not getting on.
This sentence implies a mutual dislike between the two animals, but is that really true? The video we’re showing you today disproves this supposed rivalry.
Dog and cat: a possible friendship
The cinema has often shown us images of an impossible relationship between cats and dogs, but peaceful coexistence between the two is possible. And we're not just talking about tolerating each other.
Between the two animals, in fact, a very strong friendship is possible, full of affection and love. The video, which has had more than 1.5 million views, proves it.
The video of the sweetest encounter
This clip entitled Cat Mom Introducing Her 1 Week Old Kitten to Her Dog Friend clearly shows that when you say 'like cats and dogs', you are talking about a relationship of love and affection.
The pictures show a dog lying on the bed curiously sniffing a young kitten. It is the newborn kitten of a mother cat, which we can also see in the adorable scene.
The dog continues to move its snout towards the baby. Then, the mother gently strokes the dog's face with her paw and approaches it as if to kiss it.
The mother cat's actions seem to instruct the dog to be as gentle as possible with her kittens.
It's clear these kittens are in safe paws.
