It's not so uncommon for doggos to find a fuzzy friend and bring them home, but a cat? That's something quite rare and unique! Maine coons are adventurous felines - sometimes behaving more like dogs than normal cats. They have even been known to play fetch and become purrfectly attached to their hoomans. But the maine coon in our video today became attached to something else…a wolf pup! The cat found the wild wolf pup outside and brought him home to his hooman family, and wouldn't take no for an answer (as if you can ever truly say "no" to a cat in the furst place!).

The two quickly became more than friends, they became family. The pup grew, and as he did, so did their dynamic. From cleaning each other to hissterical playtime, the two are often found side-by-side, either napping or exploring something new. The pupper integrated purrfectly into their home, and you know his "big" sister had a lot to do with that. If you've ever owned a cat, you know that they have no patience for shenanigans except for their own. 

Their friendship may be unlikely, but it's pawsitively sweet. Enjoy this snowy, wintery, and heartwarming story of fuzzy friends becoming family!

  • We're cat people through and through, but we do love the derpiness of doggos. Why is the puppy deciding to fit his sister's entire head in his mouth? That's a pawsitively strange way of showing someone you love them. But, then again, doggos are pawsitively strange.

  • What a meowgnificent pair! We'd love to take our cats hiking with us. They might not enjoy it…. at all. We'd probably have to carry them the whole way. On second thought, it's best if they stay at home.
