Watch Dogs Confront Bed-Stealing Cats

by Emma Cueto

Life as a dog is full of all sorts of challenges: you have to put up with magicians trying to vanish your treats, you occasionally get renamed by Ellen Paige, sometimes you think your owners would rather you were a panda, and really it's no wonder if you have an existential crisis and think you're the Easter Bunny every now and then. But the greatest challenge of a dog life has got to be when the stupid cat comes along and steals your bed. Poor little dogs!

It turns out, moreover, that this a widespread and ongoing problem in the animal kingdom, so much so that there's an entire video compilation of dogs that just want to lay down on their bed or designated pillow only to find the space already taken by the family cat. It's outrageous! And the poor puppies don't know what to do about it. After all, the cats are cats – they don't do anything just because someone wants them to. It's written in their DNA to be unobliging.

So what happens when the unstoppable force of a dog's love for their bed meets the unmovable object that is a cat's refusal to do anything someone wants them to? Well, you'll just have to watch the video and find out.

But, as it turns out cats have it hard, too, I guess. After all, they occasionally think they're reindeer...
