'Lost' Yorkie Hides in Plain Sight Under Cat Brother's 'Hugging Tail Drape'
There's nothing like having multiple pets in the house of different species, and two of them forming an unbreakable bond. Some of these combos could be usual archenemies, like a bird and a cat, or an oddball couple like a dog and a hamster, but the tried-and-true duo is almost always a dog and a cat.
Chase, the Yorkie, and his Orange Cat brother, Reggie, are the perfect example of how tight some pets can become. Except this time, the itty-bitty pup goes missing in the funniest place!

As the caption states, "This is Reggie's version of a hug," and it's too sweet! Not knowing where Chase disappeared to for 10 minutes is pretty comical. To be so small and disguised by a tangerine, feather duster tail is the stuff cartoons are made of, and these two actually did it!

"I tell Chase all the time to just give in and let it happen, a Reggie hug is the best!" Mom wrote in the comments, and it looks like the Yorkie is starting to do just that. Why fight it?!
Reggie isn't the only house kitty who's a fan of Chase. He's so charming that he's even captured the heart of former stray cat, Clover. It's taken a bit of time, but she's finally letting the sweet boy into her world, and they couldn't be any more precious.
@thectoranges When we took Clover in, she was absolutely terrified of Chase and would freeze when she saw him and then hide for hours. He's 15 and very very chill, so he's no threat to her. Over time, she learned that he's safe and when he threw himself into the sun on her foot, she didn't care and was perfectly happy hanging out with her much older brother #orangecat#orangecatbehavior#formerstraycat#catdistributionsystem#dog

Why Yorkies Make the Best Friends for Cats
Yorkshire Terriers make amazing companions for cats because of their small size. Many only weigh around 3 to 7 pounds as full-grown adults, which makes them a lot less intimidating than larger breed pups. Aside from their tiny frames, Yorkies lack a strong prey drive, so they're not likely to go after any felines in the house.
Plus, if you happen to have a Yorkie and kitty who've formed an unlikely friendship, you might also "lose" your tiny dog to the cat's fluffy tail at some point-and that's a good enough reason to adopt them both!
