Although light in stature, cats are sturdy pets with impressive balance as they weasel their way into the most unlikely places. But one dog wanted to put all of that to the test.
In Monday's TikTok video posted to the account @corrk2, the dog inched closer to the tuxedo cat with a look of curiosity. The dog was probably thinking: "Can this cat truly be as sturdy as everyone says?"
The only way to find out is to knock him over. With a slight tap of the paw, the dog touched him and he tipped right on over. It wasn't malicious as the dog went right over to sniff him and ensure all was alright.

But as many know, every experiment must be tested multiple times to get the best and most accurate results, which is why the dog kept trying. However, the cat does not look like he agreed to be the test subject.
The dog cornered the cat between all the Christmas presents and pawed him multiple times. The big chunk of fur ball didn't stand his ground.
The result is laid out in the caption: "Why isn't he more sturdy?!" All this dog found in his experiment was that the cat was more squishy than sturdy.
TikTok users are cracking up at the video, which gained over 467,100 views and 103,100 likes.
"Did the dog just cow tip the cat," asked a viewer.
User @ added: "The way he just slowly fell over, I thought he was a stuffed cat."
Newsweek reached out via TikTok for additional comment.
Cats and Dogs Playing
The reputation between cats and dogs is that the two cannot stand each other, but plenty of pet parents will attest that the two animals can live in harmony. They might even play together as their relationship grows.
PawTracks, a pet advice website, recommends always keeping a close eye on both the cat and dog, especially when they are playing as there is a fine line between playfulness and aggression.
To know if playtime escalated into something more, be on the lookout for the following:
- The dog starts barking or chases the cat
- An abrupt twitching of the cat's tail
- Growling in a low pitch
- Any hissing
- Claws or teeth coming out
If you notice any of the above signs, you need to step in immediately, separating the two into different rooms. You want to keep the peace. Let them settle down and relax.
