I bought a pet pug that acts like an entirely different animal – people are convinced it’s something else
YAWNING and staring might seem like feline behavior, but one pug has proven that some dogs have cat-like instincts too.
An adorable black puppy was caught on camera as she sat on the couch cleaning herself, looking like she might let out a meow at any moment.
While most dogs spend their time tearing up toys and chasing balls, some have more mellow personalities.
In a recent shared by LADbible Ireland, the bug-eyed creature was recorded with some added narration.
"This pug think's she's a cat," the text read as the video zoomed in on the clueless subject.
The unnamed pug was busy licking her paws and pushing back the fur on her face to give herself a fresh look.
"Just getting my morning clean on," the next caption joked.
The sweet dog was then seen letting out a long yawn, before making eye contact with whoever was behind the camera.
"This is exhausting stuff," the narrator added, before asking: "Can I help you?"
In the video caption, the poster admitted "I am convinced this is a cat in a pug costume."
