Giant Great Dane gets adopted by an itty bitty black kitten who waited just for him and didn't take 'no' for an answer: '[She was] patiently waiting on a pitch black, cold, drizzly night, ahead of a winter storm...'

We believe it when people say that opposites attract. We believe it because we see it in cats befriending dogs all the time. You could not think of two creatures who are more different. Tail wags mean positive things to dogs and negative things to cats. A lowered body posture means playfulness to a dog and an attacking stance to a cat. Completely different understanding of one another, and yet, they somehow manage to get along. More than that, cats and dogs can become best friends in some circumstances. 

They overcome these differences between one another because sometimes, some pairings are just meant to be. And while sometimes, it takes a while for a cat and a dog to get along - a while until they learn to understand one another, other times, it happens right away. Sometimes, both parties involved know that they are meant to be best friends, no matter how different, even if one of them is a mere itty bitty kitty and the other is a giant Great Dane.

    ...and into the arms of our Dane. I did not know he needed one. Glad at least the cat distribution system was paying attention! We live in the middle of nowhere—end of a dead end road. She showed up in the dog yard patiently waiting by the studio door on a pitch black, cold, drizzly night, ahead of a winter storm...

  • It's amazing to us how these two are complete and utter opposites - one is small, one is huge, one is black, one is white - and yet, they both knew that they belonged with one another. Some pairings are simply meant to be, and this is clearly one of them.

    missglitterous Oh my gosh this is the cutest thing ever, she found herself a body guard and a butler (you're the butler of course). Her life as a princess is finally coming together!

    OP MarketWeightPress I love this Disney fairytale narrative :)

  • We can only imagine the shenanigans that these two will be up to throughout their friendship. If they are already such adorable chaos makers now, just imagine when the cat is old enough to properly scheme. It's going to be amazing, and we politely request to hear about literally every single one of their adventures.

    OP MarketWeightPress Whoa you are so awesome fostering that many-ur an inspiration! Omar is a pretty smart one and he used to use his head as a weapon like a pony and smash it upwards when having tantrum-almost broke my husbands chin!

    MarketWeightPress OP Yeah I have a bunch of pics with her holding onto me "don't put me down..." her little needle mittens are sharp but she's learning to gently make biscuits when human skin. Did I mention—she's also a professional biscuit maker? Air biscuits too! CDS was quite generous with this little 4.4lb bundle of joy...
