How a tiny orange kitten goes from fearing to loving and cuddling with a giant Alaskan Malamute puppy

The myth about cats and dogs hating one another is about to be busted yet again. 

It is still a widely known "fact" that cats and dogs hate one another, but we, as people who love both cats and dogs, have seen time and time again that it is, in fact, not true. Cats and dogs can be best friends. Under the right circumstances. 

Some cats grow up with dogs, and that way, they are able to learn each other's differences and understand what these differences mean, rather than being afraid of them. Other cats bond with dogs over time, after spending a lot of time with them, and learning that the big, panting, fluffy, tail-wagging machine is actually a total lovebug, rather than something to be scared of. 

Of course, it's not always easy. Cats and dogs really are different. So many of their behavioral cues are completely opposite. But a lot of us - people - are different too, and we know that with enough determination and enough desire, we can overcome any differences separating us. The same is true for cats and dogs. They just need to want to be friends enough, and it ends up working out. 

Despite the fact that normally it takes time for cats and dogs to bond, some of them actually end up doing it very quickly. We think that they both understand good intentions, and if the intentions are good, then the differences between them don't actually matter. That is what we think happened in this video. 

The kitten was very spooked by the doggo at first. The doggo was excited, wanted to make a friend quickly, but he was trying anyway, looking away, trying to seem less intimidating. The kitten wanted a friend, and so did the dog, and they made the effort, each in their own way, to make that happen. And before you know it, within a very short amount of time, this tiny orange kitten went from fearing to loving and cuddling with a giant Alaskan Malamute puppy, as if the universe knew that they were meant to meet and be friends all along.
