You never know how animals will react in a new environment when there are other pets present.

And sometimes, the experts are really off the mark!

A woman named Shelby posted a video on TikTok and showed folks how her new rescue cat was getting along with her dog.

The video’s text overlay reads, “Adoption place: ‘Be careful introducing the new kitten to your dog! He could become traumatized and even have a heart attack.”

The text continued, “Them 12 hours after meeting.”
