Hi. My name is Marlin :) I'm a cat....raised by dogs. And I think I'm a dog. I live in the Outer Banks of North Carolina with my mom, Caroline Jarvis, and dad, Mack Hopkins....and they are about to get married! I have 4 dog siblings - Buxton, Hattie, Shady and Buoy. They've taught me everything I know. My favorite things are going to the beach to go swimming in the ocean, jumping on the boat to go fishing, eating fresh seafood, and swimming in the canal. I'm pretty much living the dream! Follow @carolinejarvis on instagram to follow my adventures!

    The fact you can take him outdoors and he stays with the "pack" (rather than sauntering off to do his own thing and/or getting lost) is just amazing. 😃
  • @KelmieJBigelow
    Cute how the dogs always turn around to make sure that he's nearby

    The close-up of Marlin sitting on the dashboard of the family car is priceless - if that doesn't put a smile on your face then nothing ever will. G'Day from Sunny Australia.

    I'm not a dog person, having grown up around cats (I don't hate dogs).... I love this little guy, Marlin & I love your dogs for embracing him. Your video brought a huge smile to my face! 🐱

    If only the different groups of people/countries could learn to get along like your pets who have embraced each other despite differences.

    Oh yes, a swimming cat will stand out from the other mundane cats. They are fun to watch too, but this cats takes it to another level.

    Marlin needs to be featured on the dodo. He is such a trooper.

    Marlin is just about the cutest little guy! Hopefully he’ll grow up to be one happy “doggie”! 😻

  • @davidburke2132
    Love the part where Marlin is staring at his own reflection in the bottom of the bowl! 😜 I imagine he’s saying “what’s that cat doing here?!! 😡 Can’t he see that this is a house only for dogs like me?!! 😡😡😡” 😋

    Such pure delight to watch Marlin with his family of pups. He is such a trooper!
