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!

    "This is our sibling Marlin. He may bark a little different, but that's because he is a European, we think." 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭: Thanks for all the likes, ladies and gents.

    Marlin looking at his reflection in the water bowl thinking: I see no family resemblance, I wonder if they were adopted?
  • @ilax4244
    These dogs are so respectful of Marlin's tiny size. Life is beautiful.
  • @jhavajoe3792
    Something so spiritual when Marlin is loved by his dog buddies and humans. It makes the world seem like such a good place. Even I feel safer.

    When Marlin realizes he has claws and he can climb things, he is going to think he has super powers!
  • @rtncg
    The best part is that he doesn't get lost in the open areas, sticks around with his family. Cats are impossible to contain. They usually disappear, hang around and come back whenever they want. That's why Marlin is such a dog.

    OMG, can’t believe a tiny kitten swims like a fish in the lake? The bravest little one! Bravo.

    Marlin on his tippy toes drinking water from the water bowl (1:29 - 1:59) is soooo cute.
  • "That day I looked into the water bowl and saw my reflection ... and I knew ... I was different." 💖 Marlin is sooo precious! 🥰
  • Marlin is gorgeous & you will share such special memories. In 2006 I was on a motorcycle trip from L.A to Argentina. 1 month into the trip whilst in Mexico I came across a kitten exactly like Marlin. Given he was Mexican I called him Amigo & we travelled on the motorcycle for nearly 2 years sharing an incredible journey. I then brought him back with me to Australia. He passed away in 2019 & I was devastated but he was truly my best Amigo.

    I adore the thoughtful nature of her dog siblings. Their gentle approach around her, ensuring not to step on or knock her over, is absolutely heartwarming and precious

    I've raised 6 cats, many rescuers. Have never seen a cat that easy going with going in water, Amazing.
  • My favorite is when Marlin sees his reflection at the bottom of the water dish. He is probably thinking, "why do I look different than my brothers and sisters?"
  • I love how they include her like one of the pack. Careful not to run into her or knock her over. Totally cool with sharing their things.

    What a star Marlin is. Wishing him a long, healthy and happy life.
  • @b_cake109
    Marlin is a lucky one. He has protecting siblings who will fight for him, he gets to go outside and see the world (and he absolutely loves it), and some other cats probably haven't ever gone anywhere further than their yard before. I hope he lives a long and good life
  • I like how all the dogs stay aware of where he's at, and be careful not to hurt him.
  • @debramason1898
    This is absolutely adorable!! Then there’s my lab who’s been raised with cats, thinks she’s a cat. She jumps up on the counter and eats the cat food, just like they do!
  • @LD-bb5xk
    It just goes to prove' You are a product of your environment. How adorable Marlin is!!!!!!

    My first time watching Marlin and dogs. I absolutely loved it. I couldn't stop smiling.
