I found a new born kitty up under my bushes. Raised him with 4 dogs. He really thought he was one of the dogs. We lost him this year. It truly was the cutest thing I have ever experienced with animals. Love your story.
I lost my old cat last year. I missed her like crazy 😢 Finally I adopted an old dog from a shelter whose previous owner was put into a nursing home . My ❤ is finally healing 😊
I adopted an 18 year old cat when my friend passed away. I was really worried about her learning to live in such a different environment. Especially cuz she was an only kitty. And I have many very friendly kitties that never have enough friends. She really settled in quickly. And excepted all the kitties quite nicely. She was 20 years old when her body and loneliness for her daddy took her to the Rainbow Bridge. She had a great life.
Blessings to you! Two feral kittens showed up on the porch. We already have 7 rescue dogs, but what the heck. We have 9 mouths to feed now. Cats and dogs are the best! Save mammals!
Fun Fact: Cheetahs are very nervous animals that are prone to panic attacks and emotional distress. But guess what, just like humans they get emotional support dogs! Who tell them everything is alright and I love dogs they are so sweet and kind an
This cat is going to have a great life, with loving humans and lots of canine "siblings" to emulate and look after him. I've seen cats drawn to water and swimming before, but it always amazes me when I see it.
A swimming cat is always a pleasure to see. I remember on The Beverly Hillbillies it was a special scene when Elly Mae's cat Rusty swam in the cement pond.☺️
Is the emulation behavior atypical? Or is this something that can be replicated.. honestly I can't think of a better mom than most dogs, for people and for a lot of different animals these days LOL.. obviously take that with all the reality addendums that are required.. but, still.. I kind of want to know LOL.
Its offensive to Merlin to refer to him as a cat. Merlin now identifies as a dog and therefore needs to be adressed using the trans-species pronouns "dog/canine/puppy/doggy"
My cat literally watched this entire video with me. This is her first RUclips video that she's ever watched and she was so enthralled. I still can't believe that your cat loves the beach and my cat liked the video.
My cat was mesmerized about this video. Strange because she doesn’t like videos with dogs in them. She was in the middle of falling asleep… Not anymore. This seems to be a keeper for her
Haha! The most recent info i could find kinda agrees. They not only see humans as peers, not superiors, but basically think we are just a different strain of cat. With us being so different, and them still seeing us as more like them than not, they probably think theyre exactly the same thing as dogs lol!
I don't know why, but ginger cats tend to be quite outgoing and adventurous. The ones that I was chosen by were the sweetest personalities who liked everyone. We used to joke that they would insist on pets from burglars.
I had a Calico cat that I named 'Spot'. I rescued her as kitten in 1981. She couldn't have been more than 4 weeks old when I found her abandoned at a grocery store. She loved me so much that when I went swimming in a swimming pool, she would cry for me. I could call her and she would get in and swim over to me. I bathed her in the bath tub once a month with no fussing or fighting. Marlin in this video reminds me so much of her! I've had many cats as pets during my life. Spot will always be "The One". I miss her so damn much.
So sorry Spot is no longer with you. I think most animal lovers who have many pets over the years have that One with which there's a special connection. I think we're lucky when that happens. My special guy has been gone for 50 years (I'm really old), but when I think of him I smile. However, my eyes water with that bittersweet memory.
it’s truly such a testament to how significant nurture (in the nature vs nurture debate) plays a part in developing the way we, humans and animals alike, behave. such a beautiful and heartwarming video ♥️
You are 100% spot on! This is a true example of the powerful and profound effect nurture has on the outcome of a life whether that life is human, elephant, or cat!
That is a true blue love from you and your dogs for that little kitten i commend you for being avery big hearted person... you are a true blue Hero of the whole wide world....... deb scherer
@@pyeyoung8095 I used to go to a vet out in the country who had a great Dane that hung out with the clients. He told me she wanted to be pregnant so badly but for kittens. She sworn everyone of them tht came in tht door Belonged to her... it was sweet but sad.. ... I had so many cats tht carry stories. But one loved my dog so much and always tried to sleep on her back. My dog was so nervous you'd watch her slowly slide out from underneath him. And yet tht same cat as he grew up would run after any dog and keep going lk you see the ones who save kids from an attack. But a person sit on my couch and he would jump on their lap gentle approach their face, turn his head sideways and try to french kiss them.. yup... that's a long story... he sleep on my shoulder every night. I slept on my side. And my husband would say. That dang cat don't let me get near you. Yes, I miss him dearly
I am living in a hospice in Arizona, and today is definitely not a very good day. But watching this video changed everything for me and I noticed how much enjoyment I got and how happy I am from watching the silly cat over and over. If you are fortunate enough to be able to keep going with your live, reach out to a pet in need.
I'm sad it's been a tough one for you today. If it's ok, I send you a hug and a lot of love. I hope you know God's not forgotten you. I remember thinking I was being punished or abandoned. I don't have all the answers on the horrendous suffering we have to endure, but something my pastor told me that helped was that Jesus promised healing. Our healing will either happen here or in Heaven, but it will happen if we trust him. It made me less anxious and more hopeful. Maybe it will help you, too. But if not, I pray for peace in your entire being and for you to be able to embrace joy and hope wholeheartedly. ❤ We'll be ok
Animals teach us so much! How about the dogs that just accept Marlin as their dog sibling ✨️💞🙌🏻 so nice to see everyone getting along and having a ball!
Wow and how amazing this was to watch. It helped me to realize there are really good people out there that love animals and want to take of them. God Bless you & your family & of course the pack:)
Such an amazing cat and so cool to see him just adapt to the dogs and the water like that. So sweet and adorable. Thanks for sharing such a unique story.
Marlin is proof we are a product of our environment, even animals. We learn to adapt and mimic and there is nothing wrong with that. This has been the core essence of our great nation since the beginning.
I love this so much. So beautiful 😻 Our kitten was raised by Malamutes and everything you share here is so true for her. She absolutely believes she’s a Malamute and must do whatever they do and be wherever they are. Thanks 🙏🏼
A lot of people claim their cat is "dog-like" but they are usually just referring to friendly social and needy cats (which are all normal traits for cats BTW). But their beautiful kitty Marlin REALLY IS dog-like. He literally thinks he's just like his doggy siblings and I'm here for it!!
I think cats have a wide spectrum of personalities, but in my experience, boy cats raised securely since a kitten are usually more “dog like”/More likely to play fetch, succumb to the zoomies, and just not take themselves too seriously.
It warms my heart to see animals being given their best lives. All credit to the people who share their lives and all the love with these. Bless you. Kindness is the best quality any of us can have and you have it in spades. ❤ 7.30am
This amazing but PLEASE PLEASE put a leash on him. I know somebody who had 3 dogs and a cat, all friends for longest time. He got complacent, one day while camping, the cat went missing and he never saw/found him. Cat instinct took over and lost his family forever. Please leash your cat in the wilds, birds and rats will activate their predator drive and force them to run off.
My cat did this once.. dissappear after chasing a squirrel.. but luckily his german shepherd sibling help to find and call him out.. after that she always on leash.
@@robertslunte7945Outdoor cats going outside in their territory close to home where they are familiar with all the smells is different from cats going to a new unfamiliar place where they have no smells or landmarks to navigate their way back.
This was one of the sweetest videos I have ever watched!! Marlin is a beautiful, super intelligent cat. And all of your dogs are gorgeous. In a world of hate, evil & negativity, this was a much needed reminder that there is still a lot of good on this planet. Thank you for having such loving hearts toward animals. God bless you for giving each of them an amazing life.
Omgosh...he is SO darn cute!!! Since you got him so young, he imprinted on the dogs, as if they were all his parents. He watched everything they did - like kittens normally do with their mamas - and he just did everything they did as if that's what was supposed to happen. It was so cute when he was digging that hole in the sand, but he kept looking up to see if he was doing it right. I just love cats so much. They are each so unique, and sometimes they will learn these truly amazing habits that make you sit back and watch them in awe. Your little guy is one of the best I've seen. My cats love my dogs too. When one of my cats was a tiny little kitten about 4 weeks old, we started letting him and his brother wander about the house a bit. Our dogs were locked up in our kitchen with a gate, and this kitty found his way to the gate, sat in front of the corner of it and just watched one of the dogs. My dog was extremely curious about the kitty too. He would sit there for so long, with my dog going back and forth to see him every few minutes. The kitty finally got the nerve to squeeze through the bars on the gate, and my dog - who is normally off the wall hyper - would just follow him all around my kitchen. He was, and still is, so gentle with him. They've become the best of friends.
Every second of this video was beautiful, endearing, heart warming and simply made me smile throughout. It's as though the kitten imprinted on the dogs, enabling him to know they were indeed his family
That was totally delightful. I hand reared a bunny and after she had had her milk, my darling Ridgeback Simba would urinate her just like her mother would have done. I miss them every day of my life. You are so blessed, as was I. Thankyou for sharing that film with us, you and your furry family have brought a lot of joy, to alot of people. God Bless you for loving them like I do.
There family is so adorable, how the love and got eachothers backs is so precious. I raised my cats like dogs and trust me its a must.. they learn so quick and ste way smarter then people think
That’s one very cool cat. Love him. And seriously cool parents & siblings too. What a fantastic family mix. Please keep us updated. I’m invested now. 👍🙂😀
I've got a 14 year old cat the exact same color that was raised by 4 pit bull's on 15 acres and does everything that the dogs did. Fred is the only animal I have left. The dogs are all gone due to quality of life issues and id be lost without Fred.
Whenever an animal shows any type of intelligence, "OH MY GOD, IT'S LIKE A DOG" no..its like any other animal yall just treat them all differently for some reason. Evertime I see someone give a specific animal more attention then would typically and the animal starts to reciprocate that bonding and learning they're all shocked everytime. Animals deserve more credit than it's like a dog. (My opinion no one asked for)
I love the tiny kitty taking up an entire car seat like his siblings 😂
I know! That really got me too, as well as the teeny tiny little legs shake after he got out of the water.
That' took me out 😅😅
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. I can’t stop smiling. Made my day. 😁🩷💚💜
That's his spot.
Please refrain from using the word "kitty" and lets use the required trans-species pronouns such as "doggy" as Merlin identifes as a dog.
Cats that are raised with dogs turn out super speciel.
I found a new born kitty up under my bushes. Raised him with 4 dogs. He really thought he was one of the dogs. We lost him this year. It truly was the cutest thing I have ever experienced with animals. Love your story.
I lost my old cat last year. I missed her like crazy 😢 Finally I adopted an old dog from a shelter whose previous owner was put into a nursing home . My ❤ is finally healing 😊
I adopted an 18 year old cat when my friend passed away. I was really worried about her learning to live in such a different environment. Especially cuz she was an only kitty. And I have many very friendly kitties that never have enough friends. She really settled in quickly. And excepted all the kitties quite nicely. She was 20 years old when her body and loneliness for her daddy took her to the Rainbow Bridge. She had a great life.
Much love to you and your furry friends
May y'all meet again one day ❤
Blessings to you! Two feral kittens showed up on the porch. We already have 7 rescue dogs, but what the heck. We have 9 mouths to feed now. Cats and dogs are the best! Save mammals!
I just love how dogs make other animals feel so confident to do things they might not normally do.
yeah, they are like that chill guy, but even more naturally chill, if that makes sense lol
growing up on a farm, we had several sheep, a chicken, a cow and a duck over the years that co-opted living with and behaved like our dogs.
Love this video! Its so cute and heartwarming and the real Oliver and Company. It also makes me miss having a cat.
Fun Fact: Cheetahs are very nervous animals that are prone to panic attacks and emotional distress. But guess what, just like humans they get emotional support dogs! Who tell them everything is alright and I love dogs they are so sweet and kind an
It's certainly not just dogs that do it.
I love how the kitty had the whole seat tk himself in the truck while the full grown dogs had to squeeze lol
Yeah, he's still a cat.
This cat is going to have a great life, with loving humans and lots of canine "siblings" to emulate and look after him. I've seen cats drawn to water and swimming before, but it always amazes me when I see it.
A swimming cat is always a pleasure to see. I remember on The Beverly Hillbillies it was a special scene when Elly Mae's cat Rusty swam in the cement pond.☺️

He has his own channel!

There's something special about orange and white kitties. Ours is totally eccentric. Marlin has great siblings and parents, wonderful video 😻
I like the name "ginger tabby" for them. It's more accurate than "red tabby".
I always say how different they are.
I don't know why, but ginger cats tend to be quite outgoing and adventurous. The ones that I was chosen by were the sweetest personalities who liked everyone. We used to joke that they would insist on pets from burglars.
Orange males r the very best cats 🖐️
They never fail to b dang amazing 😻😽
He could have more eccentric. His owners could have named him Hobbes.

That phenomenon is called species something. 2-9 weeks is when they learn to act like the creatures AROUND them.

ONLY if the water is warm😂

Hey , that's Marlin when he was young. Marlin is Cool !! ❤🐈😎❤
I really enjoyed little Marlin as a kitten and the way he loves being with the dogs. I'm tickled pink!
What a beautiful cat.
Whenever an animal shows any type of intelligence, "OH MY GOD, IT'S LIKE A DOG" no..its like any other animal yall just treat them all differently for some reason. Evertime I see someone give a specific animal more attention then would typically and the animal starts to reciprocate that bonding and learning they're all shocked everytime. Animals deserve more credit than it's like a dog. (My opinion no one asked for)
@dimpelzmyles: good observation !
That's just the funniest thing I have seen all day just being the cool cat with his mates 😂❤❤❤❤
Were do you live
That's a funny lookin orange dog.
That kitten is sooo cute 😂😂 his little meows , and the way he follows the dogs around . He’s too funny
It's a super cute Pumpkin/Marshmallow Cat/Kitten. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES BEFORE YOU'RE HEART COMPLETELY MELTS!
