For anyone who is a cat owner and considering adopting a dog, you need to look for a dog that gets along well with cats.

That’s exactly what the cat owners in this video were looking for, and they found the perfect dog for the job!

However, they soon discover the peculiar behavior of their canine companion.

Dog unleashes its inner cat

Before adopting the dog Mako, his new owners make sure he genuinely gets along with cats.

The answer is crystal clear: Yes, Mako loves cats. Once he arrives in his new home, his owners quickly realize that the adoption agency wasn’t exaggerating.

Mako prefers to spend his time with the household’s feline friends. Over time, it becomes apparent that his affinity for cats goes beyond just liking them.

Instead, the dog actually behaves like a cat. He likes to jump onto elevated pieces of furniture, just like cats do.

High vantage point for Mako the dog

No piece of furniture is safe from Mako, who, like the cats, is trying to gain a higher vantage point.

So occasionally, you can even find him on the kitchen counter with his cat siblings.

Mako also loves to play with cat toys and considers cat treats to be a real delicacy.

His owners even buy him dog-sized toys that look like cat toys.

When his owner eventually finds Mako on top of the refrigerator, all she can do is laugh.

Thankfully, she loves her dog with all her heart, whether he behaves like a dog or a cat!

Laughter throughout the internet

YouTube users are delighted by these cute and funny recordings of a dog that seems to think it’s a cat.

For instance, the viewer heidibee501 commented on the video:

“I didn’t realize how funny cats were until I saw a dog imitating them. […]”

Another user, jackmack365, is thrilled with Mako and his amusing habits, commenting:

“Yes, I actually laughed out loud when I saw him up on the fridge. What a wonderful and unique soul he is. Thank you.”
