Dogs and cats tend to get a reputation that they are enemies who are unable to live together under one roof, but a recent social media video has proven all the doubters wrong.
Kip the orange kitten and their older doggy brother, Kobe are two peas in a pod. It took no time at all for Kip and Kobe to befriend each other. The fur mom to Kip and Kobe believes these two must have known each other in another life because on just Kip's third day at home, the two of them were inseparable.
She started sharing the moments between these two to her TikTok account @mallorylynnee, and users are already obsessed. Since being posted on October 31, the video has over 17.3 million views, 2.8 million likes, and over 92,000 comments.

In no time at all, the two of them snoozed the day away.
The two ginger buddies have also been seen playing together in other videos. Kobe does not seem to mind when Kip's tiny paws start to swat at his face. And don't worry, there are plenty of kisses going around.
A study from the Journal of Veterinary Behavior found that introducing a cat to a dog earlier in their life can influence the success of their relationship. The study also reported that the comfort of a cat was a stronger predictor of amicability.
