SaVanna McLaughlin takes pride in keeping her backyard looking beautiful. So when she noticed her Lab, Sandy, was digging a hole under her fence, she wasn’t too pleased.

No matter how many times McLaughlin tried to get Sandy to stop, the digging continued. Three weeks had passed, and she still had no idea why Sandy was so determined to reach the other side of the fence.

One day, when McLaughlin went out into the yard to ask Sandy to stop scratching at the ground, she saw something unexpected.

“[T]o my surprise, I see the cutest little white paw just waving through my fence,” McLaughlin told The Dodo.

It turns out that the entire time, all Sandy was trying to do was befriend the neighbor’s cat. Even with the fence dividing them, the two had formed a bond.

Sandy and the cat weren’t going to let a fence keep them apart. A few weeks later, McLaughlin was sound asleep when she heard a tap at her window.

“I was so scared, like paralyzed in my bed,” McLaughlin said. “So I opened up the curtains and there is this little cat who’s got her head up against the window. And right after I opened the curtains, Sandy put her head against the window.”

The cat showed up the following night — and the one after that as well. After three or four consecutive visits, McLaughlin figured it was time for them to finally meet face-to-face.

“When I brought the cat inside, it was literally like they knew each other from another lifetime,” McLaughlin said.

As soon as they were in the same room, they started cuddling. Sandy lay down on the floor and let the kitty snuggle up to her. She immediately started making biscuits on his stomach.

McLaughlin learned that the cat belonged to her neighbor, Marcie Rome, who’d rescued her as an abandoned kitten and named her Bitty Kitty. Rome has a Lab named Daisy herself, which is probably one of the reasons Bitty Kitty felt so comfortable around Sandy.

Here’s Bitty Kitty with Daisy when she was still a kitten:

While Bitty Kitty was familiar with dogs, Sandy had never spent much time with a cat before. So McLaughlin was shocked by how easily they got along.

“I was so surprised,” McLaughlin said. “[They] went from waving in the fence to tapping on the window to, ‘Okay, we’re best friends.’”

Now, Bitty Kitty visits the McLaughlin household on a daily basis, and Sandy goes over to Bitty Kitty’s house for playdates as well. Now that the soulmates have become acquainted, there’s no separating them.
