Getting a new family member
Bethany Castiller and her family decided to adopt a dog and visited a local shelter for that. When they saw Mako, it was love at first sight, and the feeling was mutual. The puppy immediately let them know he wanted to go home with them, We Love Cats And Kittens wrote.
This family was a little concerned at first as they already had two cats, Pecan and Gizmo. The shelter assured them Mako was a sweet-natured and cat-friendly dog.
They couldn’t fight their good feeling about the pit bull puppy and happily took him home.
Raised by cats
Mako was thrilled to become a part of a loving family and did a lot more than just get along with the kitties. And Pecan and Gizmo, as older pets, did a lot more than just accept Mako. They took full-on responsibility and taught him everything they knew, showing him with their own example how things are done around the house. But as cats only know how to raise cats, the result of their parenting was fascinating.
Mako started acting like a cat, believing he was a cat too!
This only proves that cats are such caring and loving pets, and they make wonderful mummies.
Just like a cat
As a result of feline behaviour etiquette, Mako never barks. Most of his favourite things to do are cat activities as he especially enjoys climbing onto surfaces and doing their cats-typical chilling-like-a-villain thing.
The family is more than delighted with the trio and thinks it’s really funny when they walk into a room and see Mako sitting on top of the cupboard.
One may think that this dog has real identity issues but he seems perfectly comfortable in his ‘cat’ skin.
No surprise Mako became an Instagram celebrity with over 60k followers. Who doesn’t want to see a phenomenal dog raised by phenomenal cats?
