If you think cats and dogs can’t get along, think again. This viral video shows how a brave cat came to the rescue of its canine companion when a bully dog (not to be confused with a bulldog) attacked him. See how the cat saves the dog below!

Make Sure You Watch The Cat Save the Dog Below!

The video (make sure you check it out below!), captured by a CCTV camera in a factory, starts with two dogs facing each other in a strange standoff. The brown dog seems to be the aggressor, while the black dog tries to avoid confrontation. Suddenly, the brown dog leaps forward and bites the black and white dog’s neck, causing him to yelp in pain. A woman nearby rushes to break up the fight. The woman manages to scoop the black dog up before the fight gets too rowdy, but it isn’t over yet.

Because then, something unexpected happens. A flying feline leaps into the frame and lands on the brown dog’s back, clawing and slapping him with its paws! The cat is relentless, spinning around the brown dog and hitting him from all angles. The brown dog is stunned and scared and tries to run away, but the cat is faster. He chases him across the factory floor, making sure he gets the message: Don’t mess with my dog-brother!

Sometimes, dogs can fight, even if they live together, due to a variety of environmental reasons.

The woman manages to grab the black and white dog and take him to safety while the cat continues to pursue the bully dog. The video ends with the cat triumphantly standing on the ground, looking down at the brown dog who is cowering in the arms of the other factory worker. The cat has just saved the dog!

We don’t know much about the backstory of these animals, but we do know that this cat has a special bond with the black and white dog, or at least hates bullies. Either way, we salute this fearless feline for standing up for his friend! See how the cat saves the dog below!

Normal Social Behavior of Cats Living with Dogs

Cats and dogs have a long history of living together, and it is quite possible for cats and dogs to form strong social bonds. Cats may not be as naturally social as dogs, but with a little patience and dedication, cats and dogs can learn to coexist peacefully.

Cats tend to be more independent than dogs, and they prefer to have their own space. They may spend time with their canine companions, but they are unlikely to engage in the same level of social interaction as a dog would. Cats may also be more hesitant to approach a dog, but by providing a safe space, cats can learn to trust their canine companion.

In addition to providing a safe space, positive reinforcement is key to building a strong bond between cats and dogs. When cats and dogs are playing together, it’s important to reward them for good behavior. Offering treats or petting them when they interact positively can help to reinforce the bond.

Finally, cats and dogs should be supervised when they are together. Even if they form a strong bond, it’s important to ensure that they are both comfortable and that no one is getting hurt. Cats and dogs can learn to live together peacefully, but it’s important to monitor their interactions.

The Size of Various Types of Housecats

When it comes to the size of housecats, there is quite a range. Some of the smaller breeds, like the Munchkin and the Singapura, can weigh as little as 3 to 4 pounds when fully grown, while the Maine Coon can weigh up to 20 pounds.

The Siamese is usually in the middle, ranging from 7 to 14 pounds. Other breeds like the Ragamuffin, Birman, and Persian tend to be on the heavier side, with weights between 10 and 20 pounds.

The size of one’s housecat can often depend on their gender, as male cats are typically larger than females. Additionally, a cat’s diet, exercise routine, and general health can all play a role in determining its size and weight.
