A squeaky kitten and a tiny puppy were separated by a plastic barrier at JoLinn Pet House, a pet store in Taiwan. The rebellious kitten just couldn’t deal with it anymore and decided to escape its booth to play with the pup.
The kitten jumped from its display in the most adorable clumsy manner as one could expect from such a fluffball. As the kitten was uneasily balancing over the pup’s booth, the pooch couldn’t hold its excitement, too, and stood on its two paws to help the kitty get in. One brave jump and the two were together!
As cute as it may look, it serves as a reminder of the upsetting isolation baby animals have to endure at pet stores at the age when they are desperate for company. Adopt, don’t shop!

So it jumped from its booth
As the kitten was uneasily balancing over the booth, the pup couldn’t hold its excitement

Shame on you Bored Panda for posting this as 'cute' - it is NOT cute. It highlights the cruelty of puppies and kittens being sold in pet shops. #wheresmum

Pet shops should not sell animals. Too many homeless cats and dogs...adopt from shelters and then spay your pets.
That adorable and brave little kitten has more guts than those animal selling humans,and her little friend is just as cute,poor souls.!
Let's see. Options: a) Help the poor critters. b) Make a video where a wagging tail and a happy end mask sadness and struggle. Sorry for being cynical, but there is more than cuteness to this.
I agree with you. Many ignorant people *will* find this cute. For me specifically, It was educational to see how isolated this kitten was, that it braved heights just to visit its friend. We don't have puppy mills where I live, and the fact that they're still widespread sometimes escapes my mind. The article should *begin* with a condemnation of puppy mills, and not label the video as cute, rather than desperate.

Not cute, just sad. Poor little things. Pet shops should be banned. Bad taste Bored Panda.
What kills me are the morons who pay $2000 for a puppy mill dog from a pet store. Those idiots are keeping them in business.
OMG!!!!!! So freaking cute!!!! I would not suggest to buy pets on the pet store. But I do hope someone get them both together.
Cute? are you mad? to see animals in detress is cute for you?

I am a 74 ys Brazilian, Rio de Janeiro based Panda lawyer, the happy father of a Beautiful Panda lawyer and most sweet Panda girl and of a very hansome Panda son. Nevertheless I am a natural Panda and I enjoy feeling myself free inasmuch as possible. So, I was satisfied with moving to Android, until I noticed that I had lost my Panda site. You can imagine how happy I am again, rolling over the snow and icy Rio, because I got my Panda access now. Gilberto Garcia.
What you don't know is about 10 seconds into the reunion, the cat was thinking; c**p, what the heck did I just do. All this fella wants to do is lick, lick, lick. GET ME OUTA HERE!
Haha yes. The kitten started meowing because it couldn't jump down as the dog was in the way!
Load More Replies...I feel really bad for them. They have no toys and not much space at all! I mean that puppy is so energetic, and barely has any space to roam. And they will probably be sold separately! D:
it kinda seems the kitty changed its mind, when it found out, that it´s just a next cage with an obtrusive puppy :D
This is why peole should get animals from breeders and not pet shops. Don't buy pets from pet shops even just to "rescue" them - this is what keeps the business going! When people stop buying animals from these shops that's when they will stop selling them in these cages.
Just imagining the loneliness and despair of those two breaks my heart. Isolating baby animals from their litter is just cruel
Shame on you for promoting pet stores like this one. Animals in Asia are kept in horrible conditions in high heat and isolated from anyone else. This is an example of animal cruelty, not something to be described as cute. Shame!
If you ask me, kittens should never be separated, or any other animal from another if they have known each other at one point. I made a mistake in giving away Mittens, an adorable black and white kitten, and her mother would not stop wailing through the night.
Again not cute just cruel no doubt already on someone's dinner plate. How can pet shops actually sell dogs and cats for money in a place like Taiwan? These are proper clever innocent babies to be sold to any pet munching freak.
Aside from the clear proof that both the dog and kitten are very lonely. I think it's important to point out that the person filming the kitten did NOTHING to help the poor thing get to the puppy. The kitten could have been seriously hurt if it fell.
This video proves at ALL LEVELS that animals of all kinds have souls and emotions. They are like a little family. No one should be able to separate them like at that pet store. {Pet store as in Pet Torture} Ban all shops like that NOW!
OMGosh this is so adorable. They should be adopted together. Such love and happiness between these two.
From many postings about animals on Bored Panda, I couldn't help notice how much man and animals have evolved....humanity is slowly losing its grip on being caring and loving while the animal kingdom seems to be the opposite...this clip is a testimony to my statement....
Its in Taiwan.... Be glad irá a pet store instead of a human food mart.
This is so disturbing! I'm sure it's the mommy cat I hear in the background, so worried that her baby might fall. This just ruined my day ????

It looks like the kitty was going to make a break for it. Then he/she realized the pup was awake and changed its mind. The last bit looks to me like the kitty was starting to think it wasn't as good an idea as it seemed... anyway, lighten up, folks. It's a cool example of overcoming obstacles.
