Cats definitely have a unique and somewhat charming personality that you really can’t find anywhere else.

A lot of families who have felines in the house, also have other kinds of four-footers running around. While cats and dogs are often portrayed as born enemies who constantly have a turbulent relationship with each other, there are a lot of instances where the two species definitely get along just fine.

Sometimes the most surprising friendships are the best ones, but some cats even take it up a notch.

For example, this cat likes to blend in with the rest of the dogs in the home so much, that she actually behaves like one!

Meet Kiki, an absolutely adorable and energetic little furball.

Kiki, an American Shorthair cat, lives with her loving owners and three canine siblings: Saki, Ibuki, and Hazuki. The entire family lives in Japan together, but thanks to Kiki, they’re now well-known around the world.

The three pooches, all absolutely beautiful Shiba Inu dogs in a different color, have been living with the Japanese couple for a couple of years now.

The wife actually wanted to have a kitty for a long time, but her husband wasn’t too keen on the idea – until he changed his mind when he met Kiki.

“The reason why I wanted to expand our family with a cat rather than a dog was quite simple: I’ve had a cat in the past,” the wife said to Bored Panda. “But when I told my husband that I wanted a kitty, I learned he wasn’t very fond of cats. I kept at it, but he refused every time. After some time, however, I was able to find a cat we both liked.”

It wasn’t easy to find a cat that both of them liked, and they also needed to make sure that the cat would get along with their three dogs as well.

“I also looked for a breed that was really compatible with dogs. Eventually, we settled on the American Shorthair,” she added.

When the couple brought Kiki back home, she instantly felt so at ease with the rest of the family pets!

Just look at these four furry friends together! One of them is not like the other, but Kiki definitely feels like she’s one of the dogs now.

And according to the owner, these three dogs are extremely protective of their new best friend and sibling.

“I took Kiki and our dogs to a Shiba Inu party,” their owner told. “Kiki was getting along with all the dogs just fine, but one of them suddenly started barking at him. Immediately, one of our Shibas, Saki, barked back, protecting Kiki. At that point, I understood they’ve become true companions.”

These four best friends are truly inseparable.

Whether it’s going on walks, napping in their beds, or just playing around – they’ll do everything together.

“The Shibas are usually quiet at home, so Kiki seems to be able to rest whenever he wants with a peaceful mind. Sometimes Kiki does something athletic before going to bed at night and joins us in the bedroom to get some sleep.”

“I often hear that it’s the dogs who get used to their owner’s sleeping schedule, and cats are the jerks who get up early and wake you up at 4 AM or something like that, but Kiki also sleeps together with the rest of us until morning.”
