Cat won’t let anyone touch its dog friend, keeps hugging pooch

In a fur-tastic twist, a cat recently showed a heartwarming - and a tad bit hilarious - exception to the common cat-and-dog rivalry. How? The cat got very protective while hugging a dog and became angry with its human who tried to pet the pooch.

The video is posted on X with a simple caption that reads, “Do not touch.” The clip opens to show a dog sitting on the floor with a cat hugging one of its legs. Initially, the cat sleeps peacefully without moving, but as soon as a human tries petting the dog, the kitty reacts. Using its paw, the cat pushes away the person’s hand.
