Good meowrning, friends and feline family. We've said it before, and we'll say it again - pets are best in pairs. Especially cats. If you've ever had one kitten, you know how much of a handful that one teeny tiny kitten can be. But, if you have ever had two kittens at the same time, you know that it can surprisingly be easier. They usually become a beautiful bonded pair, keeping themselves entertained so mom and dad (you) get to breathe a little easier.

Now, this may be especially true with kittens, but it also applies to other pets! After one pawrent noticed her doggo was losing fur and becoming more lethargic, she took him to the vet. Nobody could figure out what was wrong with him, so she decided to get him a friend in the form of a tiny tuxedo kitten. The two became fast friends and the doggo even started to recover back to his old self! The video is purrfeclty adorable, so scroll down and watch the whole thing below!

  • Look at the purrsonality shining through on that kitten. That little angel is going to be a handful, and if she can handle a 120 lb. mastiff when she's just that tiny, she'll be running the household in no time!

  • Well, if this isn't the most wholesome thing we've seen all week (we know it's only Meownday, but still). All you need to get by is a little love sometimes, and you often find it where you never expect it. We're sure this doggo didn't think a cat would solve his problems, but look at him now!

    csinger0125 So I am a vet tech student and I took the behavioral medicine class last semester and it's seems to me your dog was depressed or stressed. When a dog is stressed the release excess adrenaline which can cause fur loss. When you brought the kitten home you gave her a way to work through her stress.
