Don’t mind me! Playful cat strikes up a bond with three Shiba Inu dogs who welcome her as part of the pack
- An unnamed Japanese couple own Kiki who is an American shorthair cat
- Adorable little feline has become best friends with their three Shiba Inus dogs
- Owner revealed Kiki has started to act like her pups, Saki, Ibuki, Hazuki and Kiki
It is well-known that cats and dogs often do not get along when they live together.
But this American Shorthair cat has bucked the trend by infiltrating a gang of three Shiba Inus and becoming a member of the canine pack.
The owners of the animals live in Chiba, eastern Japan, and told Bored Panda that they got the cat, named Kiki, when the dogs were already part of the family.
The unnamed woman said she and her partner had Shibas for years but he refused when she said she wanted a cat as well.
Eventually, she found a cat, Kiki, which they both liked and now the feline has even started to act like her pet dogs, who are named Saki, Ibuki, Hazuki and Kiki.
She said: ‘I often hear that it’s the dogs who get used to their owner’s sleeping schedule, and cats are the jerks who get up early and wake you up at 4 AM or something like that, but Kiki also sleeps together with the rest of us until morning.’
The pets’ adventures are also documented on the couple’s Instagram page.
