If there's one thing this world can agree on, it's that cats and dogs make adorable duos. Take these two, for example. I can feel my worries melting away after looking at this photo. More, please!

Pretty sure the saying goes, ‘friends who nap together, stay together.’  I can tell this pair is in for a long and beautiful friendship. 

Nose to Nose

This sweet pooch is getting loved on by a puddle of kittens, and they don’t seem to mind one bit. I’d certainly feel the same.

The Best Cuddle-Buddy

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/331986-850x756-gettyimages-1147953881.jpg

What's the point of being a little kitten if you can't snuggle up to your big wrinkly-faced dog friend? This pair knows what I'm talkin' about.

Nose Boops

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/339363-850x567-cat-dog-977867664.jpg

Either these two are besties, or they're swearing each other to secrecy after stealing the steak out of their human's grocery bag. It's beautiful to see either way.

Paradise in a Picture

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/331987-850x567-gettyimages-1349349263.jpg

A cat, a corgi, and a butterfly walk into a sunny meadow....that's it, there's no punchline. In fact, it's a very serious matter. Serious cuteness!

When Does the Food Come?

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/339364-850x557-dog-cat-sb10069719a-001.jpg

We're in the right place - when do the plates full of food arrive?

This pupper knows he can rest easy with his feline friend guarding him. Sweet puppy dreams, little guy.

A Tasty New Friend

Ah, puppies. So innocent. This one is in for a surprise.

3-Pet Pileup

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332040-850x638-gettyimages-601261399.jpg

Who planned this adorable napping party, and why wasn't I invited?

Not the Treats We Ordered

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/339366-850x567-dog-cat-1065440368.jpg

If you have pets (or teenagers), you know this look. They are not amused.

Love You So Much

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332042-850x566-gettyimages-688414458.jpg

This golden retriever must have been a good dog to receive the highly sought-after head boop from his kitty friend.

Where's Your Costume?

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332096-850x567-gettyimages-502848181.jpg

These two, again? Nap time's over for the Shar Pei, and it's time to don his finest dino costume. Guess his cat friend didn't get the memo.

Got Your Nose (& There's Nothing You Can Do About It)

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332093-850x567-gettyimages-904025806.jpg

This little kitten knows he can get away with pestering a dog that's 50x bigger than him - because he's just an innocent baby.

The World Is Our Oyster

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332094-850x567-gettyimages-640144590.jpg

Is it just me, or is this photo incredibly inspiring? Gazing off into the distance, dreaming of what big things the future has in store for them.

Pure Love

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332095-850x567-gettyimages-1000918842.jpg

There's so much gentle love and sweetness between these two, my heart can hardly take it.

"Oh no, I've been bombarded by 5 adorable kittens, whatever will I do?" Sigh - I wish I was this golden retriever.

Outdoor Adventures in My Sunday Best

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332097-850x665-gettyimages-927813652.jpg

This dachshund looks absolutely stunning in her pink dress. I think the cat could have put in a little more effort, to be honest.

Sorry, Didn't See You There

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332100-850x567-gettyimages-1174000357.jpg

What series of unfortunate events got them into this predicament? I'm sure the puppy didn't mean to walk on the cat...

Bored at Home With My Buddy

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332101-850x567-gettyimages-1398026373.jpg

With your pal by your side, you can never really be bored.

Warm & Cozy

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332102-850x547-reasons-why-people-think-cats-are-better-than-dogs.jpg

Honestly, nothing is better than snugglin' up under a blankey with your best fur-friend.

The Meet Cute of All Meet Cutes

This orange kitten might not know it yet, but this is the beginning of a very beautiful friendship.

Glamor Shot

Blonde is beautiful, and these two KNOW it.

The Cute Kind of Furball

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332105-850x567-gettyimages-1313258683.jpg

Can't tell where one ends and the other begins. Just one furry ball of cuteness.

Expressive Squishy Faces

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/life-with-pets/fun-with-pets/images/slide/332106-850x560-gettyimages-1129915681.jpg

They're back again, this time with a new friend! There's a lot going on here. The Shar Pei is deeply hurt that he doesn't get to sit in the bucket. The first cat was talking during the photo, and the second cat is plotting world domination. If these were my pets, I'd print this and frame it. I might do it, anyway.
