A TikTok video of an adorable miniature Australian Shepherd and heeler mix dog named Kila has gone viral. As per Newsweek, the video shared by @furry5fam, the dog’s owner, claims that cats have raised Kila. The caption of the video reads, “He’s just a dog living in a cat’s world.” The video has surprised many as the gorgeous dog displays cat-like behaviors, while hanging around with his cat friends in the house.
As shown in the TikTok video, Kila curls up cozily in tiny spaces. The Australian shepherd mix also goes on to elegantly sit on the top of the back of a couch. One of the most amusing things that Tila does in the video is circling a laser pointer. These are all traits that can usually be seen in felines.
As reported by Newsweek, Kila’s owner Marie has three cats – Sierra, Everest, and Raven. She further told the news outlet that her dog Kila has always behaved more like a cat than a dog. Marie said, “We had cats when we brought him home as a puppy.” She continues, “…so his playmates and cuddle buddies have always been our cats.” The owner has further explained that she believes growing up around the felines and seeing their activities up close has turned Kila that way. He is indeed a unique canine.
