Golden’s comical ‘showdown’ with kitten over bed scores 41M views

I just love their solution.

Just imagine you’ve got a tiny cat and a big dog at home.

Naturally, you’d get a small bed for the cat and a larger one for the dog. It’s just common sense, right?

But, as many pet owners know, things don’t always go as planned.

You might just walk in to find your little cat sprawled out on the dog’s bed, completely owning the space.

According to Figo Pet Insurance, both pets are to blame for this amusing situation.

Their website explains, “We admit sometimes cats can be jerks and sometimes dogs are just big babies. Cats like to be cozy, typically inside a box or small spaces. Other times, they seemingly want to show the dogs of the house who is really the leader of the pack. The dogs are either too polite, scared of confrontation, or too tired to put a fight. Probably all three.”

This brings us to the heart of the story – a Golden Retriever’s hilarious struggle with a kitten over his bed.

The scene unfolds as the dog enters the living room, ready for a nap in his big, fluffy bed.

But something’s amiss.

He sniffs around and discovers the cat comfortably settled in his bed, looking up at him as if to say, “This is my spot now, move along!”

The dog’s distress is palpable. He paces around the bed, huffing in annoyance.

Despite his size, he seems unsure how to reclaim his bed from the tiny intruder. He barks and circles, hoping the kitten might just give up the comfy spot.

But the kitten, snug as a bug, doesn’t budge an inch. Not one to give up easily, the dog tries a different tactic.

He looks to his human for help, but when none comes, he decides it’s time to get a bit more assertive.

He circles to the other side of the bed, barking and nudging his head under it, trying to gently push the cat away without risking a claw to the head.

The dog then gets bold, flipping half the bed over in an attempt to dislodge the kitten.

Yet, the cat remains unfazed, merely meowing in response.

The dog’s efforts to completely overturn the bed also prove unsuccessful, leaving the kitten comfortably in place.

Realizing he needs to up his game, the dog tries dragging the bed away with his mouth.

But even this proves futile.

Exhausted, he lies down beside the bed, panting and pondering his next move. “Maybe the cat will share?” he wonders hopefully.

So, he nudges himself onto the bed, but it’s clear he’s not satisfied with just sharing. He barks at the cat, trying to knock her off, but only earns a hiss in response.

Eventually, he ends up halfway on the bed, then on the side of it, still trying to figure out a solution.
