Lately, we’ve started noticing an unlikely friendship between our dog Reuben, and our kitty Gladys.
Let’s just say they snuggle A LOT.
At first, we thought they were sharing body heat out of pure necessity during some of the colder winter days. But now we’re beginning to realize… they’re just BFF’s.
All these pictures were taken from inside the house, because Gladys is a really nervous jumpy kitty. Also going outside would require putting pants on.
A friend came over the other day, and when she came in the house she said… ‘ummm, I think your kitty was curled up ON TOP of your dog’. And I said ‘YES, that is very likely’.
This one is my personal favorite.
And a side shot.
P.S. we have a batch of kittens that will be ready for adoption the first week in May. If you’re in Iowa and are interested in one, email us at sawdustandembryos@gmail.com… please no hate mail from animal activists for our irresponsible animal ownership.

Awww how sweet! Our dog wants to play, the cats don’t. They tolerate him but won’t cuddle like this. I wish they would, how cute yours look! 🙂

My mom has a dog that loves the kitties so much that she winds up curled up in the baby box with them–and the momma cat doesn’t care a whit. –p.s.–we also have baby kitties. They were born in our bed 2 nights ago. Major ick.

Please tell me the lovebirds are allowed into the house.

Nope… we live on an acreage, and our animals are outdoors. Fear not, for they do have access to shelter.

Awww so sweet. We adopted Our cat Daisey from you last summer. Lets just say she is bossy and so fat! But her and my youngest male cat Spook are best friends.

I have a dog Blaze, just like yours….and I think he needs a kitty! Alas, I live way out in Canada, on the easternmost coast.
Marti says
That is so cute. Leave it to a cat to figure out how to find a warm place to lie down. Your dog must be really mild mannered too.
Emily says
That is so adorable. My shih-tzu does the same thing with my cat, who was a kitten when I got him-she became a surrogate mother to him.
Jessica Terrence says
Adorable! One of our kitties loves our dog, but the other is constantly beating him up and chasing him around the house. Our 50-pound pointer-beagle mix doesn’t seem to know he’s supposed to be the boss!
Beth // Design Your Dwelling says
Wow… that is a pretty serious relationship the two of them have going on! 🙂 I love it!
Jennifer Juniper says
I wish my pets would do this! 2 dogs and 3 cats and none of them even get near each other… oh yeah, and the dogs want to eat the cats.

^ Robyn just could’t help herself! LOL
Reuben is so cute!! I love him.
Robyn says
No hate mail but please spay and neuter!
Sobeida Manan says
Yes, please spay and neuter your animals, specially since they are outdoor pets.

I teared up. I’m such a sap. We have a cat (who is quite the sass-ass right now) but we want to get a dog eventually. and I want them to be BFF’s. just like this.
Ashley says
my heart swells with Awe over this… wow
