    If you have a dog at home, you may be wondering if it's possible to have a cat, especially if the cat distribution system finds you! Well, one person found a tiny little stray kitten and was concerned about whether or not she could keep the kitten because she has a Pit Bull dog at home.

    Watch the following to see if she made the right decision.

    This adorable video was shared by the TikTok account for @ macyfit and people can't get enough of this sweet friendship. One person commented, "The way the kitten was biting tail so the pitty started biting its own tail just to be included. I love animals." Awwww, we noticed that too! Another person said, "I don't have a Pitbull, but from what I've seen they are the kindest souls if treated and raised right."

    Dogs and cats can totally live together and even become very good friends , if you introduce them properly.

    Before you even think about introducing your new fur baby to your old fur baby, make sure they have separate living spaces. Each pet should have their own "territory," so to speak, with their own bedding, food bowls, water bowls, and litter for the cat, so they can feel like they have a safe place.

    Before you introduce them in person, you can prepare them by scent swapping. Rub a clean towel or blanket on your cat and put it in your dog's sleeping area, and vice versa. That way they can get used to each other's scent.

    When you're ready for the first meeting, it helps if you have another human to hold your dog on his leash while you hold the cat or have them on a harness. If they seem calm and okay, let them smell each other. Give treats and lots of praise. If the dog barks or growls, separate the animals and try again later. Be very careful with young kittens around dogs and never leave them alone.

    Gradually increase the time of supervised interactions between the dog and cat, always making sure the cat is safe. Be patient, give them time to get to know each other.

    An excellent thing to consider is your local shelter may have a cat for adoption that has lived with dogs before and gets along well with dogs . That way it will be way less traumatic for the cat to get acclimated to their new dog friend!
