Cats and dogs often don’t get along when they live together. They might playfully chase each other or get into fights. But sometimes, older dogs take care of kittens and form a special bond with them.
It’s really sweet to see a dog cuddling with a cat, but it’s even more heartwarming when they cuddle with a tiny kitten. Sometimes, people notice that dogs will take care of kittens that are alone or have no mom. This happens because female dogs have a natural instinct to care for small animals. They treat the kitten like their own puppy, feeding it and looking after it. If the kitten doesn’t have a mom, some dogs even start producing milk to feed it.
The dog takes care of the kitten until it’s big enough to take care of itself. One special story about a dog and a cat shows how their relationship changed because of a surprising event.
