Cat Massages Snoring Pug, Somehow Manages Not To Wake Him (VIDEO)

As anyone who's ever owned a cat will tell you, domesticated animals of the feline persuasion like 'making nests'.

Not in a collecting-twigs-and-assembling-a-circular-home way, of course... more in a kneading-and-massaging-the-surrounding-area-until-eventually-settling-down sort of a way.

And as cats can get everywhere, the places where they message can be quite unusual. Like, say, nearby pug dogs.

Pity poor Toby then, a very sleepy mutt who just wants to get some kip. His feline flatmate has taken it upon himself to give him a back rub, despite the fact that Toby is quite obviously asleep - and snoring loudly, to boot.

It's not the first time it's happened, either. A previous video uploaded by their owner, YouTuber 'newgirlrh', shows Toby properly waking up and grumbling at his overaffectionate companion.


Still, it's nice to see these two getting along so well, even with the unwanted massaging going on. Undeniable proof that cats and dogs can get on well - much like this rather extensive cats and dogs gallery, in fact.

Giving human characteristics to animals is fun and entertaining, but it's inane.

Pugs are very cute and this video of the sleeping pug Toby and the beautiful chocolate colored
cat is adorable. The video entitled Nina and Istan cuddling is cute too.

All dogs used to be wolves. Shame on humans for producing pugs that spend their lives gasping for breath.

Beautiful cats. Great videos I have 1 cat and 1 dog. They play some, but the dog is a little rough, so we have to watch her.

Nothing can wake a sleeping pug if they don't want to be awake, especially not a massage like this.
We don't refer to our sleeping pug as the SquishMasterGeneral for nothin'..

That's not "nesting". It's what kittens do to stimulate lactation in their moms.

True. In adults, it's like a residual habit meaning "I'm happy, and I wuv u"

Yup. "Ecstatic kneading" is the usual term for this behavior in adult cats. Typical of cats that were . . . uh . . . weaned too young. One of mine does it to me occasionally. With claws. Jeans and a fluffy blanket are barely enough to save the lap. Now, this pug has tougher skin and thicker fur than I, so those power-driven needles may not hurt.
