Rescue kitten befriends dog and clings onto her everywhere they go

Koda the kitten spent the first few months of his life living outside on a farm that had too many cats. Fending for himself for shelter and food, Koda was then rescued and adopted by the Aubrecht family. 

From the very first moment he met his dog sister, Jessie, he was determined to become her best friend.

"Their relationship is very unique, as most dogs and cats do not act this way towards each other, very friendly and playful," Emily Aubrecht, Jessie and Koda's mom, told The Dodo. "They love to do everything together which is awesome for us as they keep each other entertained."

Jessie was the perfect big sister to Koda. She is calm and easygoing, and when her energetic kitten brother moved in, she was happy to take him under her wing. They've been inseparable ever since. 

"He constantly wants to play with Jessie and his toys," Aubrecht said. "One of his favorite activities is to run in circles around our house. His other favorite pastime is to attack Jessie's face and tail, and thank goodness she doesn't care, otherwise we would have a very bored kitty on our hands."

Koda loves having a warm home to play and grow in, but he still loves the outdoors.

"When we travel to British Columbia, they will adventure into the forest together," Aubrecht said. "Koda enjoys riding on Jessie's back, even though Jessie isn't very fond of it!"
