Pomeranian's Annoyance Over Her Cat Sister Trying To Steal Her Dinner Is So Real
Anyone with siblings knows they can be truly annoying at times, especially during dinner. Need proof? Look no further than Lola and Ducky. In a hysterical TikTok video that's been viewed more than 1.5 million times and liked over 198,000 times, Lola the Pomeranian peers incredulously at her owner as Ducky the ginger cat — who's hidden underneath a cabinet — reaches out a paw to grab Lola's food dish.
@lola_thepom The orange is strong with this one 😂 #pomeranian #fyp #dog #funnydog #dogandcat
Viewers were utterly delighted by the video and, in particular, by the expression on Lola's face. "That's hilarious🐈 I love it. And the look on the dogs face is priceless," wrote one, and another commented, "And your dog is like, 'Are you going to do something or just record?'"
The sound of Ducky's claws scratching on the metal food dish reminded many viewers of a specific type of film. "Something out of a horror movie!! 😂" one person exclaimed. A few people made jokes riffing on the metal claws of Freddy Krueger's character in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" slasher films. "Nightmare on paw street 😅😂," one person quipped, while another advised, "Get away immediately, that's Pawdy Kruger."
Cats and dogs becoming friends
A quick perusal of the other videos on the lola_thepom TikTok account shows that Lola and Ducky are normally the best of buds, regularly cuddling, grooming each other, and sleeping together. Seeing these cross-species BFFs may have you wondering: what's the best way to achieve cats and dogs living in harmony?
If you want to help your cat and dog become best friends, the first step is to take extra care before introducing them. Make sure each one feels comfortable in your home and has a safe space to retreat to if things get stressful. Swap the animals' scents by exchanging their blankets. Then, when it's time to bring them face to face, go slowly and have patience. Don't be deterred by a bit of hissing or growling at first. Eventually, you may end up with animals who get along as well as Lola and Ducky normally do — except, perhaps, at dinnertime. One netizen hilariously channeled Lola's thoughts upon watching the attempted theft of her dinner, writing, "She's like 'moOoOoOoOom?!?!?!?!'"
