Video of Maine Coon 'massaging' (kneading) his best buddy, a Staffy
It looks like the Maine Coon is a full-time indoor cat living in an apartment in GdaĆsk, Poland. The video has attracted the attention of news media which is why it has been seen well over a million times, which makes it the best video for this TikTok user: maine_staffy.
The user's handle reflects the fact that the dog is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The cat looks like a genuine Maine Coon; a grey tabby with a bit of white and what looks like dilute markings. A beautiful and cute cat for kneading his best buddy, the Staffy.
I'll present the video twice (1) once as an embedded video from TikTok which may stop working and (2) an uploaded version which won't disappear, but the quality is poorer.

We know that they are best buddies because when a cat kneads another animal species including their human caregiver, it means that emotionally they regard the other as their surrogate mom and they are instinctively kneading what they think is the breast of their mom to encourage the flow of milk. It reminds us that domestic cats are inherently somewhat confused by the situation in which they find themselves.
They are living in an entirely human environment and their closest companion is a human.
Here is a picture of the Maine Coon. He's a good looker and not extreme, just nicely balanced in appearance.

Kneading like this is very cute and it seems that the dog is enjoying it as he makes a little squeal or grunt but perhaps it is painful! It might be because those claws are going to be felt. And this staffy has a very close lying coat. It is not thick. I expect the dog felt the claws! đđ
