You know we love seeing videos of interspecies friendships. If you’re like us and prefer such golden content, get ready for an even sweeter genre of clips: interspecies families!
This almost 20-second-long clip was posted on Instagram from Raylan the dog’s account. It shows two small kittens ‘meowing’ and slowly stumbling towards Raylan who is sitting on his dog bed. As soon as the baby felines come close to the canine, he sticks his tongue out and starts cleaning them. It appears that the cats appreciate the licking because they keep wanting to climb up into Raylan’s bed for some more parental loving.
“These little kittens have been here for less than 24 hours and already think that Raylan is their mother. They follow him around like little ducklings and scream if he’s not paying attention to them” Raylan’s hooman explains in the Instagram caption. They continued by saying, “Raylan’s actually not fond of the screaming, but he loves keeping them clean and helping when they make a mess eating”.
Since its original posting on April 8, the clip has been watched almost 64,000 times on Instagram. Additionally, it has been shared on other social media platforms, such as Reddit.
