It seems species and size don’t matter when it comes to one friendship that has melted thousands of hearts on social media.
In a viral video shared by @porchkitties4 to TikTok, a tabby cat called Skittle can barely contain his excitement after being reunited with his “big bro” after nine days apart.
The adorable footage shows Skittle refusing to let Saint, a Great Pyrenees dog, leave his sight—even if it means meowing at the top of his lungs and jumping in the dog’s way.
According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), Saint’s breed can grow to be 27-32 inches tall and weigh 100 pounds or more. Whereas tabby cats weigh on average six to 20 pounds, states Catster. This huge difference in size makes their bond even more unique as Saint could easily harm his feline friend. However, he appears to be a gentle giant and it’s clear that Skittle rules the roost.

The text overlaid on the video said, “These two were separated after 9 days and Skittle was sooo happy to see his big bro.”
After spending more than a week at a dog sitters, it looks like Saint wants to familiarize himself with his surroundings again by walking around his porch. But Skittle doesn’t appear willing to let him do this alone—and each time the dog tries to walk off, he quickly bolts over and jumps in the way.
