A Golden Retriever puppy is melting hearts online after a viral video revealed just how much she has picked up from her feline sibling. The clip humorously documents the pup copying several cat-like habits from grooming routines to play styles, suggesting that her “cat bro” had a major role in raising her.

Shared by the Instagram account @goldenpup.mika, the video strings together a series of moments that show the dog behaving more like a cat than a typical Golden Retriever. The clip comes from @goldenpup.mika, a page that features the daily life of a Golden Retriever puppy and her black cat sibling. The video’s caption sums up the dynamic perfectly: “Cat bro did half of the parenting for us.”
A text overlay introduces the theme: “Things my dog learned to do from being raised by a cat.” From that point on, the video walks viewers through several behaviors the puppy seems to have adopted directly from her feline companion. The overlay reads: “Staying still to be groomed.” Another moment highlights how the dog plays differently from most puppies. The text overlay explains: “Using her paws to play.” The bond between the two animals extends to mealtime as well. In one scene, the overlay reads: “Sharing her kibble with cat bro.”
One clip shows the puppy standing by a window alongside the cat, with the overlay: “Bird watching.” Another scene humorously shows the cat lounging in sunlight with the caption: “Charging by solar power.” Another clip of the video shows the Golden Retriever engaging with a toy typically associated with cats. The overlay reads: “Playing with cat toys.”
The wholesome video quickly gained attention, with viewers praising the unique bond between the dog and the cat. One user wrote: “I wish my cat would be that brave.” Another commented on the gentle play style: “Aww, using the paws to play is gorgeous! Means no accidental bites for small older brother, that’s so sweet.” Others appreciated the relationship, with comments like: “Love their relationship.”
