As your pet gets older and older, you start thinking about getting it a pet friend - some company, someone to love when you're busy and not around. And though you may not think that getting your senior cat a pet great Dane dog would be the best idea in the world, in this case, you'd be wrong, because this senior kitty and huge doggo absolutely love each other.

They're best friends and love each other so much. They have out together in the sunshine every single morning, sometimes, they kitty uses the pupper as its personal pillow. And they are so adorable together, the collective hearts of the internet have completely melted.

This is the dream for every pet owner - having its lovely, amazing pet live for as long as this one and longer. We can tell, from these posts, that you love this kitty so much, and we are so happy to see him in such good hands. We hope this kitty lives for a long, long time still and is as happy as ever forever.

"The rest of the images are from the past week. He’s doing so well, happy, and I’m so happy and proud for him. My little man who has been with me since childhood is still loving his cat life."

And loving his life with his doggo, of course, who will be introduced later in the article. We have always wondered if it would be a good idea to bring in a puppy when our pet gets older, and seeing this officially has us sold. We would love nothing more than to make our pets as happy as possible, and this seems to be a good way of doing it.
