Have you ever heard of a dog raised by cats? Well, meet Mako, the canine who’s convinced he’s one of the feline crew!

Bethany Castiller and her family were on a mission to adopt a dog when they stumbled upon Mako at the local shelter. The puppy seemed to have his heart set on them from the get-go.

Despite already having two cats, Pecan and Gizmo, the Castiller family felt Mako would fit right in. The shelter confirmed he was cat-friendly, sealing the deal for them.

And boy, were they in for a surprise! Mako didn’t just get along with the cats; he practically joined their ranks!

But Mako’s integration into the feline lifestyle didn’t stop there. Before they knew it, he was picking up cat-like habits left and right. Could it be that he spent so much time with Pecan and Gizmo that he started to believe he was one of them?

Here’s Mako soaking up the sun with Pecan…

…and putting in some serious office hours with Gizmo!

He’s traded barking for purring and has taken a liking to all things cat, especially climbing onto high surfaces for a good hangout session.

Yep, you heard it right – Mako is officially being raised by cats!

The Castiller family gets a kick out of walking into a room only to find Mako perched on top of the cupboard. Talk about a sight to behold!

While Mako may be a bit of an oddball in the canine world, his family adores him just the same. After all, who wouldn’t love such a unique and lovable pup?
