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.
