A compilation of YouTube videos appears to show that cats stealing dogs' beds has become a problem. In the videos dogs can be seen adopting a variety of tactics in order to regain their bed from the offending cats.
A video called ‘Cats Stealing Dogs Beds’ uploaded on October 14 by Duc Nguyen has already had 554,578 views.
In it one of the dog victims begins howling and whining next to the bed. Other dogs featured in the video look at their stolen bed longingly from a distance.
Dragging the cat along on the bed is a popular strategy that several dogs pursue, ensuring that the cat is made to feel uncomfortable.
Some dogs resort to a type of compromise solution by jumping in the bed with the cat.
A video uploaded on 15 March, 2007 by Ziotinozioto (which features in the compilation) has reached 2,660,594 views. It shows a small white dog employing various methods to remove the cat from its bed including barking at it, shaking the bed and circling it, before finally getting the cat out after turning the bed upside down.
The Huffington Post is thought to be the first media outlet to produce the compilation video.
