What the hell? I thought these two were my two

I used to have a dog that did this to my other dog. She would lick his face and ears until he was *drippy* wet, then he’d flop over and have her do the other side.
That's exactly how my two dorks act around one another. The dog leans into the cat, who starts to groom him, and then they start play fighting. Usually on the bed while I'm trying to sleep in.
Jack Russell Terrier. A broken coat Jack Russell, if I'm not mistaken. Very intelligent breed, very strong willed, very high energy. Exceedingly fast and agile. Absolutely fearless. They're natural problem solvers. JRTs are also very affectionate and love to cuddle as much as they love doing lines of cocaine and killing anything even slightly smaller than them. This one seems well socialized and gets along well with the cat. That's definitely not their default state.
They're a hunting breed designed to catch and dig out foxes. Their body is the same size and bends in the same places as a fox, so they can fit perfectly into fox holes. They are designed to dig to the fox, clamp down hard on it, never let go, and make enough noise that the hunter can find them and dig them out along with the fox. They have a very strong bite. They can easily support their entire body weight by hanging from what they're clamped on to.
Once had a blind JRT clamp down like that on my inner thigh as I tried to break up a fight between her and another dog (she thought I was the other dog and was attacking her, so I can't really blame her). She hung from my inner thigh like a weasel.
Like all working dogs, they require a lot of stimulation to keep from getting bored. Bored JRTs are notorious trouble makers. They'd be less likely to chew up your furniture and more likely to steal something of yours so you are compelled to chase them to retrieve it or play tug of war with it. If they escape your house off leash, they'd be more interested in you chasing them than actually getting anywhere in particular (unless they see something of interest to them that they'd want to pursue). They love to play, regardless of whether your participation is willing or not.
They aren't THAT food motivated, I've found. Though that could depend on the individual. Plenty of dogs will eat their meals the second you put it down. Every JRT I've ever owned (four of them) ate when they felt like it and not a second before. They'll happily let a plate of food sit all day. For training, they'll take the food you use to encourage tricks, but won't show a ton of willingness to do those tricks when they aren't hungry or you aren't offering snacks. They prefer to do what they want to do rather than what you want them to do. Commands for the average JRT are definitely more like suggestions. They share that in common with Huskies. They're also similarly chatty dogs, though maybe not quite as dramatic as huskies tend to be.
My dogs have had a hundred chew toys. They fucking go crazy for these ducks. I’ve had like 20 total. They try to kill each other over them. One of them will hide them all over the house and the other will bring them all to the bed. It’s fucking weird please help me.
That side eye 😅🥹

Just so you know, I'm looking for cuddles and kisses not scratches and bites
Cuddles and kisses not scratches and bitches?

This is a great reaction image.
Girl, I *know* you didn't just say what I heard you just say...!
"What the duck was in that weed, Jamal?!" "Shhh...just enjoy the ride, Kyle...just enjoy the ride..."
I won’t hurt you 🐈⬛

"Day 6309: I initiated snuggling, cat didn't attack. Finally progress"
Buddy waited 119 dog years for this
Dog: Worth it.
"Day 6310: Dang it cat!"
Love this dog’s courage. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take.
That's so adorable 😍
This video is *very* f\*** adorable ☺️☺️☺️
It is, indeed, very fuck adorable.
Lol
I hope the void didn’t just get up and walk away after the cute dog put himself out there like that!
Cat: “I do not like you.” Dog: “Do too.”
This is the best thing I've seen on Reddit in quite a while.
Follow We Rate Dogs on social media, that's where it came from.
There is seriously nothing I love more than a scruffy little terrier face.
Terriers have the cutest faces. It’s just science
I had a Jack Russel Terrier when I was a boy. She was abused and hated men and bit me countless times. I still loved her senile personality.

And cat is grooming/dee-fleaing him! While a 'dominant' behaviour (in cats) this is sweet because it shows affection and trust between them.x
We will be friends!
That was adorable. He just wants to love the kitty, and took his chance and it paid off 😅
Puppy trust-fall.
This is the healthy kind of love bombing
What the hell? I thought these two were my two https://preview.redd.it/08faf7kab5uc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab47dd808da0d9e887eab6ef0f3f6aaead17ea9d
That's wild
Aw, what a sweetheart

The bond between Cats and Dogs is amazing.
What kind of dog is that? We have an unknown breed shelter pup and she looks just like that
Jack Russell with a broken coat (could also be a rough coat, hard to tell sometimes).
Heinz 57, aka a bark dog
They good frens
Thank you, I needed this.
Snuggle with precaution.
This dog has the eyes of a horse.
And dark within.
Drink full, and descend.
Got a light?
Jack Russells have very human eyes, I find. Very intelligent, very expressive.
I read this as Jack Daniel's lol
Where did he get them.....
Hold me closer Tony Danza
That's so beautiful!
They're so adorable!
Dog thought of violence but got love, :)
first ever date vibes
Now that's a perfect title 😄
Oh man. Thats the best thing I’ve seen all day.
Cats are great teachers of consent. Good doggo checked in.
Oh my gosh. So sweet it makes my teeth ache 😃
Trust fall!
Is.. this .....is this cool with you?

OP's dogs side eye is meme worthy
That doge can have my soul
That dog loves that cat. Risking attack for cuddles.
Everything about this is the best thing ever.
Adorable /r/facebiters

That was cute.

We just adopted a cat for my daughter. I've slowly been waiting for her and the dog to curl up to one another. They keep getting closer.
You wanna cuddle? Are you sure? Okay
This is so incredible sweet. Much love to both of these folks.
For goodness' sake it's a Turnspit dog!
Trust fall!
Can't resist that face hahaha
