Kitten stretches and both big dogs grin

A tabby kitten has found the best spot in the house, the gap between a German shepherd named Rocky and a golden retriever named Baily, and he's not giving it up. more

The kitten acts like the living room seating plan was his idea. On the couch he settles in right next to a dog many times his size, and when Rocky lies down, the kitten rests on the shepherd's front leg. Baily is never far away.

Early on, the kitten stretches. Both dogs grin at the same time, as if they had just heard the same joke.

He doesn't wander. Baily is right there, but the kitten sticks closest to Rocky, pressed to his side or draped over his leg. Rocky doesn't seem to mind being used as a bed. Even when the kitten stretches out on the couch for a rest, a big dog lies close by.

People call him the most protected kitten in the world, and it's hard to argue. Two dogs who outweigh him many times over have decided he is theirs to look after. Both of them look as relaxed as dogs get.

Near the end the kitten stretches out across Rocky and kneads the air with his front paws, something cats do when they feel safe. Rocky seems to give him a gentle kiss on the forehead.

The kitten gives no sign that he knows he is the small one. He lies across a German shepherd the way another cat might lie across a cushion, and nobody in the room sees anything odd about it.
