Living with a roommate is all fun and games — until one of them shoves you off the bed. Whether you are splitting rent or sharing the food, tensions can rise fast when personal space is invaded. In an Instagram video, Cactus, a viral rescue dog, seems to have had enough of his cat housemate stealing the affection, and he wasn’t shy about making his feelings known.
Instagram video shows rescue dog pushing cat off the bed to get attention from owner
Mike Brown, the owner of Cactus, recently posted a video that had followers laughing out loud. In the clip, Cactus is sitting on the bed while Brown gives some attention to the family’s British Shorthair cat, Miso.
As Brown pets Miso affectionately, Cactus suddenly uses his paw to shove the unsuspecting feline right off the bed. Miso lands on the floor and quickly scampers away, while Brown reacts with surprise and laughter, saying, “Cactus! You pushed him off the bed!”
The now-viral video was shared on the Instagram account @cactustherescue, which frequently features the everyday antics of Cactus and his interactions with Miso. While the two pets often appear to get along, this particular moment showed a flash of what many viewers are calling playful jealousy. Fans of the account were quick to comment on Cactus’s expressive behavior, turning the moment into a lighthearted debate about loyalty, jealousy, and sibling rivalry.
One viewer humorously remarked, “Cactus said that Miso still got 8 more lives,” referencing the classic cat myth. Another commented, “Cactus wants loyalty. Devotion. Full emotional monogamy. Miso had to go.” Some users sided with Cactus, joking, “Cactus just gave Miso one pet, it’s not his fault the cat fell off the bed,” while others declared their allegiance plainly: “I am definitely team Cactus. Well done you!”
Whether you side with Cactus or feel for Miso, these two certainly know how to keep their owners on their toes.
