Dog Imitating Human To Befriend A Cat Has Internet Saying ‘So Adorable’ – News18

Can cats and dogs be friends? While some say yes, others say that this is impossible. While dogs are social animals, cats prefer to mostly be on their own. There are several videos online where dogs try to befriend cats, and many fail to do so. However, a dog named Kovu discovered the perfect solution to overcome those obstacles and make friends with a cat called Simba. In this latest video, the smart dog noticed how its pet parents used strings to engage the cat and so used the same object to befriend it.

The video begins with a cat sleeping on the floor with a dog standing in front of it. The dog also carries a few strings and hangs them in front of the cat. The cat, who was initially uninterested, eventually becomes intrigued by playing with the strings and the dog. The caption over the video read, “Tried so hard to befriend the cat.” Below the post, a comment from the parent of these pets mentioned, “Kovu, our Aussie, always wanted to be friends with Simba. Simba would never have it, always swatting and hissing. Kovu noticed us playing the string with Simba and gave it a shot.”

Netizens and cat lovers were quite fascinated to see the video and instantly reacted to it. Some said, “Tried…and succeeded,” “Well that’s freaking adorable,” “looks like the dog wants kitty to play tug of war.”

A user said, “Wow, that’s pretty impressive! You’ve got a brainiac WITH a high EQ!” to which the owner replied, “By far the smartest, most loyal dog I’ve ever had. He was very high energy as a puppy and took a lot of training, but it was super rewarding in the long run.”

Many others appreciated the dog’s intelligence and care saying, “Such an intelligent dog! Not only did he observe the cat interacting with a string in play, but he had the smarts to use this tool to engage in play with the cat! The little play-bow he did, the ‘stretch’ was adorable,” “In cat world, friend means not having the claws out when you swat someone. This is best friend behavior.”

Some users joked saying, “Looks like me trying to make a new friend. I don’t understand your rules and language. I shall insert my own,” “He’s catfishing.”
