Cara, a cute little white and gray pooch rescued from Romania was, was adopted from Oakwood Dog Rescue in the UK city of Hull almost three years ago. She's already a bit of a social media star, with over 21,000 followers on multiple platforms.

Although her life has definitely taken a happy turn, there's one thing she really, really doesn't like about her forever home: the addition of a cat.

This was clearly dislike at first sight, as an adorable TikTok shows. It's fair to say Cara is not a fan of her new housemate. The poor pup first slinks off when the cat gets close to her, then proceeds to bark and whimper at her owner in a panic, as if to warn everyone of the furry intruder.

"Dogs are always so dramatic, for what," one person wrote, while another sarcastically quipped, "The dog narrowly escaped with her life."

A third user was more appreciative of Cara's manners: "She was trying to be polite and not freak out in front of the guest."
