In the clip adorable dog Redd cautiously tries to sneak past his feline foe taking care with every paw step.
The clip, which was posted by New York based Pounds Hounds Res-Q, showed the muscular canine, who looked every inch the alpha male, tiptoeing past the room the cat was sleeping in.
Looking hesitant, he can be seen moving slowly and carefully down a tight corridor.
At first it was not clear why he was being so careful, paying attention to every paw step.
He seemed so fearful he even stopped dead in his tracks at one point.
However it soon became clear he was attempting to be as quiet possible, so as not to alert the cat in the room he had to pass.
Puppy plays dead to avoid the vet
The video shows Micki, Lulu’s owner, entering the bedroom to find the dog motionless on the bed.
“Morning, Lulu!” Micki calls several times before asking, “Are you gonna wake up?”
Lulu might be smart, but her owner knows her weakness.
“Oh, well. Dead puppies don’t get treats,” she says.
Immediately, Lulu is in perfect health. Her eyes fly open and she sits eagerly up, sniffing at the bag of treats.
