People often wonder whether dogs and cats can be “best friends,” and this Instagram video confirms it. A video is entertaining its viewers with a demonstration of what happens when a dog spends a little too much time with cats. The video, posted by user @justopiethings, shows Opie, a Pitbull, lounging on a dining table as if it were his own, a trait more typically found in cats. (Photo credit: Instagram).





Opie is shown in the video lying stretched out on the table with his paws outstretched, gazing calmly at the camera. His cat brother is shown sitting properly in a nearby chair, making the reversal of their typical behavior even more apparent. The caption on the video reads, “When you spend too much time with cats and start to pick up their habits,” while the caption on the video itself humorously adds, “Bad manners Opie.”



Opie, however, is not bothered in the least by the teasing. His calm demeanor and lack of reaction indicate that he finds nothing wrong with his decision to park himself on the dining table.




The video has elicited various responses from viewers, with some of them making funny comments. Some of the viewers joked that Opie has now become a cat in his mind, while others observed that he appears a bit too big for the table. Some viewers also shared their experiences with their dogs, which have exhibited cat-like behavior after cohabiting with feline friends.
