Shepherd dog meets tiny kitten for the first time: his reaction surprises millions
North Carolina (USA) - When you bring a new family member home to your furry housemates, as an owner you always expect two extremes: either the two love each other or they are direct enemies. Sheepdog "Butter" from North Carolina has now had exactly this experience. However, the furry friend is not yet sure whether she likes the new animal in the household or not - so far she only feels one thing: fear!
Owner Kayla filmed the moment when she introduced "Butter" to a little baby cat that would be living with them from now on.
And although the velvet paw looks really tiny and anything but threatening, the dog reacted to it with great fear.
In the video, you can see the German shepherd looking at the cat suspiciously at first, then Butter snuggles closer and closer to her master. In the end, the four-legged friend even buries its head under the man's arm.
"We introduce our 38-kilogram German shepherd to a 400-gram kitten," owner Kayla captions the clip. And adds: "She's actually scared."
This fact is indeed hard to miss.

But does this mean the "pet reunion" has failed?
Some users on TikTok , where the video of Butter and the baby cat has received more than 20 million clicks since it was published, were already asking themselves this. Kayla therefore uploaded several update videos to show what the mood at home is like at the moment.
Even though dog and cat are still not one heart and one soul, their relationship seems to be making progress. Butter and the velvet paw are getting closer and closer and are slowly getting to know each other.
"They're still not best friends, but I think there's progress 🤷🏼♀️", writes owner Kayla in a video showing the animals.
The American now firmly believes that her beloved furry friends are well on the way to having a good relationship.
