Sunny the Maltese and Max the rescue cat give a whole new meaning to the phrase "getting along like cats and dogs."

When Sunny was four, he was introduced to his new feline friend, and the two haven't looked back since.

They quickly became friends because they both love the same thing: chasing each other around the home like their lives depend on it!

In the short clip, Max and Sunny try to convince each other to start the game of chase by popping around the corner and then hiding. Then the chase starts, and so does the play-fighting.

"This is how I know they are up to shenanigans when I am working," the clip's caption says.

TikTokers love the precious pair, with one commenter describing them as "a cartoon come to life."
