Sibling rivalry isn’t just for humans, as proven by this viral video of a rescue pup named Cactus and his feline brother, Miso. Posted on Instagram by @cactustherescue, the post’s caption reads, “Cactus and @miso_britishshorty are the definition of brothers — one minute they’re best friends, the next they’re tattling on each other. Never a dull moment with these two.”
Rescue puppy cuddles with owner after cat whacks him for stealing toy
The hilarious reel perfectly captures the chaos and comedy of living in a multi-pet household. The video opens with Cactus lounging comfortably on his owner’s lap, soaking up affection like a spoiled younger sibling. The on-screen text overlay reads, “When your puppy steals your cat’s toy and gets whapped for it,” setting the tone for what’s to come.
In the clip, the owner gently consoles Cactus, saying, “It’s okay, is he scary? Oh buddy, he’s not a dog. Sometimes he gets scared and whips you,” after the pup seemingly gets on the wrong side of his cat brother. Cactus, looking confused and slightly betrayed, came closer to his human for comfort. After the cat appears, Cactus jumps off the couch, and the owner immediately reacts with a knowing, “Uh oh.”
Viewers were quick to fall in love with the duo’s sibling dynamics. One commenter wrote, “Daddy!!!! I was a good boy, I only stole his toy for a widdle bit and he hit me!!!!” So much sibling energy,” while another added, “Cactus is such a sweet emotional boy. I’m so glad you always protect him and his precious, delicate heart.” One such user commented, “Cactus has the most human-like emotions! He’s such a sweet boy! We all love him like our own doggies!”
The clip has already received over 22,000 likes, proving that pet owners everywhere can relate to the adorable chaos of having pets with clashing personalities.
