A heartwarming friendship blossomed when Tessa, a former rescue dog, stumbled upon a lost kitten crying in the bushes. Despite her own troubled past, Tessa is now a cheerful and lively pup thanks to her loving owners.
During a stroll one day, Tessa was drawn to the soft mewing of a kitten hidden in the foliage. The whole family was captivated by the adorable stray they named Circe. As Circe became part of their household, Tessa took on the role of a nurturing mother figure.
As time passed, Circe began to imitate Tessa’s actions, behaving more like a dog than a typical cat. They frolicked together, snoozed side by side, and happily shared toys and treats, warming the hearts of their family and online spectators alike.

When Bored Panda contacted Tessa’s owners, they had some interesting insights to share about her.”She’s quite a charmer, with a fondness for people and a vibrant aura. Tessa thrives on exploring and trying out new things because she quickly loses interest in routine,” they revealed.
During a leisurely stroll with her humans, Tessa’s attention was caught by the sound of a meowing cat nearby.

Even though they couldn’t track down the kitten’s exact whereabouts, Tessa refused to throw in the towel. Before long, she managed to locate Circe, who appeared to be extremely frightened and disoriented.

We were curious about how they first met and how quickly they decided to bring Circe into their home.
Tessa’s owner explained, “We kept hearing meowing coming from a bush, but we couldn’t locate the source of the sound. So, we let Tessa investigate, and she found the kitten right away. We were surprised to see such a tiny, scared kitten with her eyes closed. In that moment, I knew I had to bring her home and provide her with a loving, safe environment.”

The owner elaborated further on the special connection they shared right from the beginning.
“It was clear that Tessa formed an instant bond with this cat. When we were bringing the kitten home, Tessa stayed close, checking on her and making sure she was okay. Once we got her inside, Tessa never left her side. Even as Circe explored the house, Tessa was there every step of the way, ensuring she stayed safe.”

Tessa has always been quite possessive of her belongings, especially when it comes to food and treats. However, her behavior seems to change when it comes to Circe. Despite her usual protective nature, Tessa has never shown any aggression towards Circe or tried to protect her food.
I believe she has a generous spirit, willing to share whatever belongs to her.

Circe started exhibiting dog-like tendencies, and Tessa naturally took on a maternal role towards her. They enjoy playful roughhousing sessions that closely mimic the interactions seen between dogs.

The owner shared, “Circe definitely acts like a dog sometimes. She enjoys picking up things around the house and carrying them in her mouth, and she loves playing catch with us. Her play style with Tessa is very reminiscent of a dog’s, it’s not the usual way you’d see a cat interact with a dog.”
