World’s Most Paternal Cat Takes Care Of 7 Chihuahuas

The world recently got a lot more adorable. Eight more times adorable, to be exact.

Seven goofy chihuahuas, including little Yuta, Hana, Nami, Mocha, and Kuma, live with their human mom in Bangkok, Thailand. The canine family is comprised of five siblings and their Chi-Chi two parents. However, the chihuahuas as a whole live under the supervision of another family pet — Ritchie the cat. That's right! Ritchie the cat plays father-figure to these seven tiny chihuahuas, and the bond between them is being documented on social media by their loving owner.

Whether they're snuggling in bed, relaxing outside in the sun, or chilling peacefully on their favorite wooden bench, Richie is always by the pups' side, keeping a close watch and letting them rest against his fluffy white-and-gray coat. Who says cats can't be maternal… or in this case, paternal?!

Unsurprisingly, the internet is going crazy over this furry family that proves cats and dogs can indeed form an incredible bond.

As you can see, Ritchie has formed a particularly close bond with the tiniest one of the bunch, Kuma.

Wherever Ritchie goes, Kuma follows. Eventually.

And he's always there to provide a soft place on which the pups can rest their little heads.
