Santa Monica (California/USA) - For many people, it's an integral part of their morning routine: After getting up, the bed has to be made. US-American Michael Brown was also planning to get his sleeping area in a tidy state, but he hadn't reckoned with his pets ...

Miso the cat and Cactus the dog from Santa Monica may have only known each other for two months, but the two furry friends are already pretty much best friends. However, this wasn't the case from the start: When the velvet paw moved in with Brown from the animal shelter, there were a few teething problems at first before the animals realized that they do find each other quite nice.

Since then, dog and cat have been inseparable and recently even formed an alliance against their master Michael.

As a result, the morning activity felt like it took all morning instead of two minutes.

"Cactus and Miso are really happy every time someone tries to make the bed. They hear it and are there immediately!" the Californian writes on TikTok in a video showing him tidying up.

Again and again, one of the animals jumps onto the bed and makes itself comfortable on the mattress, almost provocatively.

Michael tirelessly lifts his four-legged friends off the bed one after the other to finally sort out the pillows and blankets. But the furry friends don't even think about helping their owners. As if egging each other on, they repeat their game until Michael finally gives up and throws himself onto the bed with them.

However, he can't really be angry, as the animals show him what really matters in the end: not the tidy bedroom, but the time spent together.

Viewers on TikTok also agree that no made bed in the world could replace the two four-legged friends: "At least you know that your bed is loved," says one user. Another writes: "I'm glad they're so happy together now. 🥰"
