If you have ever seen a cat kneading, it’s natural for them, but a dog doing it will stop you in your tracks. A Golden Retriever named Fisher has had the same effect on his audience after an Instagram video showed him “making biscuits.” Instagram user @fishertheretriever shared a video of the Golden Retriever sitting on a couch cushion with a toy in its mouth, rhythmically kneading its paws into the pillow, looking completely focused on the task.
Golden Retriever is a ‘biscuit-maker’ in adorable Instagram video
The “kneading” move is something cats usually do when they feel relaxed and safe, so seeing a Golden Retriever take it up in the video has viewers amazed. Fisher’s owner explained in the on‑screen text: “when your dog only has cat brothers so now he is apart of the biscuit making business.” Meanwhile, the video’s caption read, “what can i say, his brothers taught him well,” adding, “he is truly a natural.”
The moment clicked mainly because the sight is so unusual. Fisher perches on top of the cushions in the video, holding a purple stuffed toy, looking almost exactly like a cat settling in before a nap. While kneading is common in cats thanks to instincts they develop as kittens, dogs rarely do it. Hence, the Golden Retriever’s video came as a pleasant surprise.
Comments poured in, each funnier than the last. One viewer said, “I’ve seen many things in my life, but this I’ve never seen,” while another wrote, “I hear him purring from here.” Someone else joked, “What kind of cat is that?” A fourth commenter added, “He’s not really sure why. But he knows he’s supposed to, for some reason.”
Furthermore, a viewer joked, “The cats hired him to work weekends making biscuits while they take Saturday – Sunday off,” while another wrote, “Too cute. Cat siblings really shows.”
Between the Golden Retriever’s serious expression and the surprising cat‑like behavior, the video hit the right spot, making Fisher the internet’s newest honorary cat.
