Greenspan Mar 5, 2020 7:06 PM UTC More than two decades later, [Rose and Jack’s iconic _Titanic_ love story](https://time.com/5627345/titanic-door-scene-debate/) may have finally met its match. The love displayed between a dog and a cat in a new short film — in the form of a [viral Twitter video](https://twitter.com/humorandanimals/status/1235206236045484035?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw), of course — may just have the power to bright our days while bringing both dog and [cat-people](https://time.com/5770341/famous-internet-funny-cats/) together once and for all. In the clip, originally taken by Lisa Plummer but shared by the Humor and Animals account, a black cat is perched atop the couch, looking out the window. The cat’s golden dog associate joins, resting its arm around the cat’s back. (Insert cuteness overload-induced “aw” noises.) If you were a fan of [last year’s viral thread](https://time.com/5553223/cat-dog-thread/) involving a special cat and dog friendship, Wednesday’s addition to the canon is truly something to behold. > [](https://twitter.com/humorandanimals/status/1235206236045484035) The clip has 3.7 million views as of Thursday afternoon, because [times are tough](https://time.com/5793629/coronavirus-quarantine-vacation-costs/) and we could all use a little endearing dog-cat moment in this news cycle. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5797355/dog-cat-friendship-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5797355/dog-cat-friendship-video/"},"headline":"People Can Just Barely Handle This Friendship Between This Dog and Its Cat Buddy","datePublished":"2020-03-05T19:06:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:21.034Z","description":"Rose and Jack's love story has met its match","url":"https://time.com/5797355/dog-cat-friendship-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt278334b32bc4272f/698a0b32b3fce338b50c66bc/dog-cat-friends.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel E.
