That's brilliant. Used to have a cat called Sandy who would clamp our dog's
head in his front paws and not let go until he had licked all his face clean. Poor Lucky was very, very patient. They lived together happily for about 15 years.
We have two adult Dobies and a Mature Tom cat who left to their own devices will spend a lot of time doing similar to each other, amazes me no-one ever gets hurt, and it appears the cat's in charge.
I would guess that clip is American, no UK Vet would do that to a Dobies ears (hopefully).
Nice bit of filming.
The dog is clearly not cross and is acting like mum or auntie (or is it uncle)and is aware that the kitten is a baby (picking it up its mouth) bless so cute.
