Dogs and cats are supposed to be age-old rivals, but when raised together these two breeds often become best friends. When cats and dogs do comingle it’s clear who the boss is: the cat, of course!

The cats on this list know they are all that and a sack of catnip, which is exactly why they demand the dog of the house provide the perfect soft pillow for them to slumber atop. We are glad these dogs are sweet enough to oblige, after all cats using dogs as pillows make such cute pictures.
