German shepherd’s gentle reaction to cat wanting a cuddle melts hearts

A loving German shepherd dog caught on video having a cuddle with a cat has left viewers feeling smitten.

In the clip, uploaded on TikTok by the dog’s owner @whiskygamin, Whisky the Alsation is lying down on the floor with his front legs stretched out when a white and tabby cat appears on his left.

Gamin, a cat called Gamin, comes over to Whisky the Alsation and then falls on its side, landing perfectly between his front paws.

Unsurprised by this invasion of personal space, Gamin begins to lick the cat’s fluffy belly. After he rolls onto his back for a cuddle, he looks unsurprised.

The video was uploaded on September 22 and since then has been watched more than 2.8 million times and received 300,000 “likes” and thousands of adoring comments.

One said: “So adorable, obviously not the first time. They look like best buds.”

A second user commented: “The cat even knows the best way to make self comfortable.”

Someone else noted: “Cats have absolutely no concern or understanding of personal space! Haha.”

A fourth user shared: “My dog and cat used to lay all over each other the minute they see us watching them they jump up and go different directions.”

Whisky and Gamin’s owner said the pair, both males, were best friends and cuddled “every day”, with another viewer correctly guessing it was part of their “normal routine”.

Another adorable clip features the cat doing a roly play on Whisky, and then affectionately kissing Whisky’s big nose.

Axel, another German shepherd, is the reason people are literally crying at his gentle reaction when he first saw a horse.

Axel handled his first encounter with an animal in a remarkable manner, while another German shepherd was not so kind when his owner tried taking him to the bathroom.

In an attempt to prevent his owner from taking the pet to the toilet, the pet made a fake limp.
