Pets have a funny way of choosing their own families, and sometimes, they make the strongest bonds without any warning. From unlikely friendships to daily cuddle routines, animal companionship often shows affection that feels almost human. One such heart-melting moment is now winning over social media, showing a dog and a cat locked in an unexpectedly tender moment. A recent Instagram clip shared by Shiba Inu & Arabian Mau, @shibainu.arabianmau, on Instagram features two pets snuggled up together. The text over the video reads, “I didn’t choose u as my sibling, but I guess you chose me,” setting the tone for what follows.
Cat refuses to leave dog’s side in adorable video
The video starts with the Shiba playfully barking at the cat, and the Arabian Mau responding in the cutest way possible. Apparently, the cat wraps her paws tighter around the dog’s leg and pulls herself closer to him. Instead of moving away, she double-downs on the cuddles while refusing to leave her furry sibling’s side. Moments later, the pair settles into a cozy position, lying together as if nothing could come between them.
The adorable video is backed by “We Are Family (2012 Remaster) song, making the moment feel even more fitting. And of course, fans were quick to gush in the comments as one wrote, “Aww? Usually, dogs are the clingy ones,” and another added, “The best?” One simply summed it up with, “Cute ?.”
The Dubai-based account’s bio reveals the pets live their “best life” together, and judging by this clip, that description couldn’t be more accurate. With affectionate gestures, playful energy, and a whole lot of love, this dog-and-cat duo is reminding everyone that family is sometimes chosen, one paw wrap at a time.
