‘You won’t find a cuter duo’: Viral video of dog and cat snuggling is melting hearts

The cat and dog rivalry started ages ago. Ever since they separated from their common ancestor, some 43 million years ago, cats and dogs have been at each other’s throats.
While there might be several theories to explain their enmity, the most logical explanation is that dogs chase cats because of their instinct and their drive to hunt a prey.

You can be a dog person or a cat person but there is no reason why you can’t keep both together. In spite of their differences, dogs and cats coexist with each other in a lot of households. As fascinating as it may sound it is possible to domesticate both canines and felines together.
Majority of cats can happily coexist with a dog if they are given time to comfortably get to know each other. If a puppy and kitten are raised together, they generally will learn right away to tolerate each other, and some cats and dogs grow to be real friends, even playing and napping together.
Now a video that has surfaced on social media proves just that.

Posted by The Puppies Club on Twitter with the caption ‘You won’t find a cuter duo’, it shows domesticated cat-dog duo cuddling and snuggling each other while they play and sleep together. Needless to say, the video has gone viral, melting hearts of pet lovers. It has amassed over 1.3 million views and 54 thousand likes.
Most animal lovers and expecting pet parents might have gone through this dilemma before adopting a pet: A dog or a cat, who makes a better companion? There is no doubt that both the species dominate the internet equally and some have even earned the status of an ‘almost’ celebrity.

The natural instincts of each species lead towards antagonistic interactions, though individual animals can have non-aggressive relationships with each other, particularly under conditions where humans have socialized non-aggressive behaviors.
However, after watching this video, it won’t be a bad idea to adopt both a dog and a cat. What say!
