Cat Raised By Shiba Inu Siblings Thinks He's A Dog
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so perhaps that is what Kiki the cat is going for as she pretends to be just like her three Shiba Inu buddies: Saki, Ibuki, and Hazuki. The adorable little feline is an American Shorthair cat who lives in Japan alongside her family which includes the three canine siblings.
While most cats will get along well with a dog and somewhat enjoy the company, Kiki takes it a step further. She doesn't just hang out with the dogs, she also tries to be one! It is just too cute.
In fact, the whole scene was so adorable that Kiki's owners ended up creating an Instagram account dedicated to Kiki and her canine companions so that the rest of the world would be able to see the daily interactions of the cat and her dogs.

There are regular pictures and video updates that show Kiki living her best canine life. She spends most of her time in the presence of the dogs and together the four of them will pass the time eating, playing, and even sleeping with one another.

But besides spending all her time with her buddies, Kiki also portrays some unique doggie traits. For one, she's quite obedient.
There were several videos that show the little cat being a good girl, like when she patiently sits and waits for her owner to give her the signal to go ahead and eat. Such a smart kitty!
