Agolden retriever called Daisy has melted hearts on social media after getting caught multiple times stealing the cat’s kittens because she “wants to be their mama so bad.”
The heartwarming post, shared on TikTok on Sunday by @quartkneebayybee, shows Daisy picking up one of the small kittens and placing it on the mattress to cuddle with her, refusing to acknowledge that it is not her baby.
A caption shared along with the post read: “She keeps stealing Luna’s baby kittens… she wants to be their mama so bad!”
Science has confirmed that cats and dogs can live together without any issues when introduced properly. However, some dog breeds are more suited to living with cats.
As previously reported by the American Kennel Club, dogs that are more suited for living with cats include basset hounds, bulldogs, beagles, border collies, golden retrievers, and Labradors among others.
On the other hand, because of their hunting nature, dogs like terriers and hounds may not be the best match for your cat.
“Keep in mind that these are generalizations. Most dog breeds can live calmly with a cat if they are socialized as puppies and are trained to leave the cat alone. Teaching your dog a ‘leave it’ cue and a strong ‘stay’ can help keep the peace,” the AKC added.
