Then she sees who else is in there

« Oops, » she says in the video as it dawns on her what has happened.

« I never put my cats in cages, » Maddie told Newsweek.

« Usually, only Ivy (her other cat, ed.) Who sneaks in there to take a nap when the cage is open. But I’ve never seen Ash in there before. When he’s black, he goes all in with the cage, so I was really surprised when I discovered him in there. »

Fortunately, Maddie was not worried as her pets have a close and almost sibling -like bond. Therefore, she was not afraid that it was an unpleasant experience for the cat to be closed inside with the somewhat larger dog.

« I always call Ash a cat who behaves more like a dog, so I knew it was totally okay. They behaved as if nothing had happened when I shut them out, and then they went straight back to play, » she said.

The video of the moment when Ash and Willow were found together in the cage quickly went viral on social media, and a host of viewers also chose to share their reactions to the fun situation.

« Almost as if the dog is more traumatized than the cat, » a user wrote, among other things, in a comment during the video.

Others guessed how the power relationship in the cage had been – and here several pointed out that it was probably the cat who was the boss.

« You just know that the boxer was only allowed to sit in the corner, » a user wrote.
