In most homes, birthdays mean balloons and cake, but here the spotlight is on the pets making each other feel loved. That’s exactly what happened in this video when Cactus, a rescue puppy, set out to surprise his cat brother, Miso, on his big day.
The whole day kicks off with extra snuggles and treats before their dad lets Cactus in on the plan — it’s Miso’s birthday, and they’re heading to the store to pick out gifts. As the owner tells us in the caption, “These two couldn’t be more different, but they’ve somehow cracked the code on being best buds in their own weird little way.”
Rescue puppy goes to a store with owner to select birthday toy for cat brother
The clip already has over 14K likes, and once you watch, it’s easy to see why. One of the funniest moments comes early on in the video, when the owner, Mike Brown, quietly pulls Cactus the rescue puppy aside for the “secret mission,” while his cat brother, Miso, just sits there looking bewildered.
At the store, the pup helps pick out toys and treats — curled up in his dad’s arms for the higher shelves, sniffing around for the rest. “He’s so proud,” his dad says at the checkout, and you can really see it in the canine’s wagging tail.
Back home, Miso hasn’t budged from his chair — now accessorized with the sweetest birthday hat and waiting for the big reveal. Cactus dashes over to his feline brother, while their dad follows behind with the gift bag.
By the time the gifts start coming out, it’s hard to tell who’s more excited — Miso, dad, or Cactus. The cat inspects each present with curious eyes, eventually settling in to play.
The comments section reads like a big birthday card. “Miso celebrates birthdays like I do — by not moving from my chair all day,” joked one user. Another wrote, “Cactus is absolutely the BEST pup ever!!! Didn’t even want a toy for himself.” And what might be the sweetest reaction to the furry duo read, “I CANNNOOOOT WITH THEM TWO.”
