Cat Raised By Dogs Races To The Ocean To Swim | The Dodo 

I love the tiny kitty taking up an entire car seat like his siblings 😂

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 just love how dogs make other animals feel so confident to do things they might not normally do.

My cat literally watched this entire video with me. This is her first RU-vid 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.

He's gonna live a long time. Swimming is so good for cats.

It’s like a sister being raised with all brothers, how cute.

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 ♥️

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.

Some kittens want to be astronauts or firefighters, Marlin always aspired to become leader of the pack 😅

He doesn’t just think he’s a dog probably he figures he’s the prettiest dog ❤

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.

Marlin’s cattitude is for the dogs and we’re all here for it!! ❤️😻🥰😘💋

Oh what fun!! Marlin is such a cool cat. He loves his siblings and his parents and always wants to be with them. How wonderful!

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.

Animals show us humans how we are meant to be with love That video was awesome 🐾🐾🐾🐾

So beautiful how animals can adapt without bias us as humans need to learn how to do this!!!

Cats are actually quite good swimmers, but not many likes being wet. I had a cat that loved swimming, too, and to be bathed😂

There's something special about orange and white kitties. Ours is totally eccentric. Marlin has great siblings and parents, wonderful video 😻

That kitty is definitely one in a billion! So fearless, so loving to his "brothers".

It’s impossible to watch this without a big smile on your face the entire time . I love dogs and cats so much but I can’t have any because I’m semi homeless so I get my fix by watching these videos . Marlin and the dogs are just impossibly adorable , what a blessing ❤❤❤❤

Wonderful story.. So nice to see this little cat growing up with dogs ❤

That is so amazing. I love these stories they're so heartwarming.😊❤🐈🐈

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!

It's like he adopted their pack mentality as well as everything else. This is so sweet ❤

Such a cute animal family

Great story! Fills my heart to know those animals are living their absolute best lives w wonderful humans! ❤

Oh my gosh he even trots like dog! What an adorable little guy! ❤

What a beautiful bold Kitty 😸 you have been blessed. God bless you ☺️ dog's are patient and loving

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!!

Very smart marlin adapted quickly and your friendly dogs readily accepted him

Just adorable! God bless you and your pets; they're very beautiful but the cute little kitty stole the show 🙏❤️🌹

So adorable!! I want a cat like that!

This is an adorable video. Go Marlin!

bless this cat ❤ 😺😺🐈

A cat that likes water named Marlin. Brilliant! 😊

I love how the kitty had the whole seat tk himself in the truck while the full grown dogs had to squeeze lol

What an adorable family!💖💖💖💖💖💖

The sweetest cat in the whole world! ❤❤🐱

Thank you. The video warms my heart.

Wow, so happy for you and all your adorable friends/pets.

He does what his Pack does, he’s like this is what we do in our pack. We swim in the ocean we go for car rides. It’s what we do.😂❤❤ So cute!

That's just the funniest thing I have seen all day just being the cool cat with his mates 😂❤❤❤❤

Made my morning. Just adorable. Always wished my cats would swim! 😊 And, Family is Family! 💙💜❤️

What a wonderful family all of you are , wishing you all the best ; always !

Wow! Such a happy family. Love this story.

Cute kitty. Very adorable.

What a beautiful cat.

Adorable little catfish.

How unusual yet wonderful. Never see cat and dog relationships. Always were taught they were natural enemies❤😂😊

It's a super cute Pumpkin/Marshmallow Cat/Kitten. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES BEFORE YOU'RE HEART COMPLETELY MELTS!

What a Great Family you have! Thanks for sharing Your Experiences!!!

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:)

Love this cat and his family!

LOVE this story ❤️ I have an orange 🐈. Thanks for being a great animal parent. Especially how you let him join in😊

He’s learning to live!! I love it! I’ve befriended twin mini panthers that were born at the scrapyard. Once they realized the love and security was inside and with the two legger sand other four loggers, they’re down! They’ve even gone on a weekend excursion and totally took advantage! Live life little cat!!!!

I think quite possibly he is the luckiest cat on earth to have you all as parents. ❤

Marlin, the cat-dog is amazing! 😂

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.

Sooo precious, Marlin is AMAZING and has an even more AMAZING, loving family, thanks for sharing footage of your adorable family!

What a beautiful vídeo!!! Thank you for sharing It with us!! I LOVE LOVE animals!! Dogs and Cats always Live with me! My whole entire Life!! I don t know how to vie without them ! 🐾❤️❤️❤️

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)

Precious little angel

Animals are the best people

I really enjoyed little Marlin as a kitten and the way he loves being with the dogs. I'm tickled pink!

This is soooo cute. It demonstrates how influential an upbringing is!

So fun to view🥰. I really enjoyed this because I don’t get to see adventurous domesticated cats. I’m just use to the ones who stay house bound. I always feel that cats would feel so great if they have the privilege to have outdoor walks or adventures like dogs.

You are taking so good care of all your animals. Adorable ❤

Thanks to you and all the other people that take the time to bring these lovely and inspiring RU-vid videos.

What a wonderful wonderful loving story. Little Marlin is one of the pack. This made my day, thank you for sharing ❤🙏🙌

That is just adorable! You all are super pet owners, bringing Marlin along with your pups, they all look very well loved and cared-for.

My wife brought home a kitten. Henry. I already had two adult dogs, one large breed one small breed. And i swear it makes cats much more sociable. He turned into quite the family member

What a wonderful story! 👍 Thanks for sharing this! ❤ All the best to your cat and the family! 💯

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 🙏🏼

Bravo! The world needs more people like you! The best of luck to you and your friends!

Adorable story 🥰

What are wonderful story , it’s peaceful to watch Marlins his brothers live their life. Thanks for sharing.

Великий кот!!! Вся семья сплотилась вокруг него)))))❤❤❤

If I could have a cat that acted like a dog I would have a cat! Love to see Marlin happy.

I really love this, it’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen!

Had me is tears of smiling happiness. I am SO IN Marlin says!!

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.

Beautiful story 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This warms my❤! I'm destined to do things like this in my life. I've raised cats and dogs together and they were the best of friends. Wrestling, playing and sleeping together. Eating. What a gift. Love this little 🐈

ADORABLE ❤❤❤

Cats hate water but Marlin looks a hero among cats...It seems it's the effect of company.❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have a five month old exactly like the cat in the video. I never knew a cat could be so affectionate, fun and compassionate.. He's my personal trainer now. Instead of running he hops like a rabbit on all fours because I can' t keep up with him. He sleeps on my pillow but makes sure that I have enough room. Truly adorable.

What an adventurous life this cat has. He is special.

This little baby is just awesome

So cute

What a wonderful example to us humans .. we should not care about the looks. It’s all about blending in with each other ❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Wow, that cat's adventure to the ocean is so heartwarming! 🐾 It's amazing to see the impact of a loving environment on an animal. The bond between this cat and the dogs is truly special. I can't get enough of these unique animal stories. Thanks for sharing this heartwarming video! 🌊❤"

Perfect example of _how the society around you shapes you_

Marlin is absolutely darling. Way to go pups(and mom) for raising thar fearless kitty. Well done. 🐶❤️🐱

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.

What a beautiful family. Lucky humans 😊

Thanks Caroline and Marlin!🥰

OMG JUST TO SWEET ,YOU GOT YOUR PUPPY S TO HELP WITH YOUR 🐈🐕🐕🐕 NICE 👏👏👏👍. 👵
