This hilarious Instagram video will show you that the only thing better than a dog is a dog acting like a cat. And Opie the Pitbull seems to have switched teams. A video from Instagram user @justopiethings shows the dog sprawled across the dining room table as if he owns the place. Meanwhile, his cat sibling stands politely on an adjacent chair. Safe to say that the roles in this household may have completely flipped.
Dog does what you’d usually see cats do in funny video
The video’s on-screen caption speaks on behalf of the dog as it says, “When you hang out with cats long enough and start picking up their habits.” Meanwhile, in the video, Opie lies there with his paws stretched out, looking at the camera with the most suspicious eyes as his owner captioned the post “Bad manners opie” — but honestly, the dog doesn’t look like he feels bad about anything.
Viewers naturally had a field day with this video. A user joked, “Opie now self-identifies as a cat,” while another asked an important question: “Is he pushing things off the table yet?” Meanwhile, a third user pointed out, “You’re a bit big for the table sir.” Another noted, “The way he’s just looking at you like, ‘…What?!'”
One commenter shared their own story: “My dog learned to lay on the back of the couch by my cat he’s a pretty decent sized dog.” A viewer even imagined Opie’s defense, writing, “The cat told me to do it!”
Dogs are social animals and naturally pick up and mimic behaviors from their housemates — whether those housemates are humans or fellow furry friends who walk on four legs. Opie has certainly picked up the habit of claiming furniture as his personal throne. Live with cats long enough, and apparently, this is what happens — but it seems like Opie has learned from the best.
