If you've ever wondered what it would be like to have one of your [favorite household pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onepack-plan) be human, then set your eyes on the Cat-Friend vs Dog-Friend video. The main premise of the skit shows to characters each play a dog and a cat as they interact with their friends and housemates.

Generally, you could say the two actors embody the furry critters to a tee. The [cat friend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskas-purrcast) takes on an anti-social, quiet and selfish persona while the [dog-friend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-human-dog-bed) is an overtly friendly pal who is always excited to be by your side. Though in pet form, their behavior is completely acceptable and even expected, if any of your friends actually acted the way they did, such as casually sniffing your butt, I would doubt they would be your friends for too much longer.

The boys over at Fatawesome Films make hilarious videos as the Cat-Friend vs Dog-Friend' video attests to.
