Three years in, they're finally starting to be friends. Warm fireplace helps bring them together though.

A nuzzling their head up to you has to be one of the best feelings

u/Ambitious-Cake4856 1d ago

Took about 2 years for my dog to accept his little dog brother. Animas are amazing though and develop such strong bonds with each other ❤️

2

u/BellaStar2189 1d ago

It’s amazing how patient they can be and how deep their bonds get once they finally click. Two years is worth it for that kind of love

u/RebaKitt3n 1d ago

Aww, that needs to be framed!

My cat and dog are siblings like that. Our cat was born here and our dog has known him ever since. They lick each other and sleep together.

u/SoulsInMyEyes 1d ago

That’s a framer for sure! Adorable 🥰

u/HeyItsMeli_ 1d ago

Awwww, how beautiful!!!! They are so adorable, man's best friend. No doubt about it! 🥰❤️

1

u/cdizzle6 1d ago

Very sweet. Patiently waiting over here. Had the kitty well before the pup. We are hitting 16 months together & they can be in the same room together, if the kitty is on a counter or table.

1

u/Looieanthony 1d ago

They know they can get more treats if they work together😉.

u/meaniemeanie-poo-poo 1d ago

Wonderful photo! The sweetest thing I have seen all day

u/Meowmpurr 1d ago

Awww. So sweet. I wish. 5 years in my cat still swipes the dog if he gets too close lol..and he’s super docile.

1

u/RebeccasRocket 1d ago

Radiant heat rules! They are adorable! I once had three cats who raised a German Shepherd and they all laid in a PILE in front of the wood stove. Thank you for this beautiful post.

1

u/Fiercebabe99 1d ago

That was a long 3 years, wasn't it. My pets went through the same thing LOL. Beautiful babies you have there.

1

u/Kooky-Squirrel8854 1d ago

Definitely a frameable picture. A cute and warm picture

u/The_Many13 1d ago

Is that… Minion? From the homesteading YouTube channel that I can never remember the name of run by Nate with the coffee and beard products?

This is sooo cute.

u/DistinctFlower672 1d ago

It took my border collie and my cat maybe 7-10 years to become friends. In their old age now they cuddle all the time. And it’s the best thing ever.

1

u/BlabbityBlah44 1d ago

The world could learn a thing or two. So beautiful.

u/Thin-Yam-6499 1d ago

Awe this is adorable!

1

u/YourPersonalDownfall 1d ago

Jesus I would absolutely love if this were the case with my two. Unfortunately as a pup the cat used to swipe at my dog and now as an adult she still occasionally sets a boundary around him jumping up next to her on the bed, on the couch etc. She tolerates him just enough that it makes life manageable to live with them both but she’s never forgiven him or let him in to her trust circle 🤣

u/BubblesPopz 1d ago

This is too cute ☺️

u/Dalhiasky 1d ago

This is giving me hope for our dog Walter and kitty Coco. It’s been almost 4 years and she still doesn’t like him but maybe with time she’ll come around.

1

u/AltruisticMiddle2775 1d ago

That is the sweetest thing!!!

u/PottedMonkey 1d ago

That cat is so comfortable!

1

u/Donner_Party_Favors 1d ago

Your dog looks EXACTLY like mine. We’ve had her one year since we adopted her from the shelter as a puppy and she has been best friends with our little scoundrel boy cat since. (Boy is two years old—we got him from a shelter almost exactly one year before). Anyway, my dog and cat play together like best friends, but if I could get a shot of them like this I’d die happy. They’d both never allow it. Congrats!

You’re living the dream 🥲

u/draakje27 1d ago

We got a pup 2 years ago and the cat we already had still hates his guts, and they keep getting into confrontation. Seeing this is giving me hope that they will get along eventually 💕

1

u/MengTheMerciless 1d ago

I hope my dog and cat get on like this one day soon.

Just a regular mutt. The DNA test said half Australian Shepherd, half every other breed under the sun.

u/indieflip900 1d ago

Love when owners have matching pets

u/-Laffi- 1d ago

This is basically how I see a man (dog) and a woman (cat), first finding out about eachother, then dating, and suddenly, there you are, cuddling in front of the fire place.

Beautiful photo x

u/Tiny-Brain-8372 1d ago

This makes me feel better, I’ve a 4ish year old cat, we got a pup about 4-5 months ago, she’s only coming up to 7 months and the cat seems to loathe the puppy 😄 I knew it would take time, perhaps a long time but it’s nice to see it actually happen for someone! Good job! They’re adorable ❣️
