The dogs think he’s a dog too, apparently

Kiki is a one-year-old cat who lives with three dogs in Japan, but no one has the heart to tell him. His brother and sisters accepted him into the family as a two-month-old kitten, and have patiently taught him all about life as a dog, which mostly seems to involve eating, going for walks, and posing for group photos that would look good as an album cover.

Unlike most cats, Kiki has no qualms about patiently posing with his pack, who have all been exceptionally gracious about accepting this tiny, oddly shaped, purring puppy into their family. This is, to say the very least, a major development in the field of feline/canine diplomacy, and you can tell by Kiki’s extremely earnest expressions that he’s taking his role very seriously.

You can keep up with his (truly, quite precious) antics by following saki.ibuki.hazuki on Instagram.
