Now, who says that cats and dogs can't get along? They can be best friends - if they share common interests.

Like driving, for instance. If this exciting story were made into a film, it would undoubtedly be titled The Fast and the Furious-ous.

And, of course, Louie the cat and Nachos the dog would be the stars of the film. The charming grey-and-white cat and brown-and-tan dog have a wonderful way of getting around, and TikTok users have fallen in love with them.

Shaina Culpepper, a content strategist at Facebook who resides in Lake Elsinore, California, has published multiple videos of this cute couple on TikTok. And one video, in particular, has received over 3.2 million "likes" and has been shared over 133,000 times.

The video shows Louie and Nachos driving about in a miniature Jeep while onlookers are enthralled. Newsweek writes that Nachos, dressed in a banana suit, and Louie, dressed dapperly in a shirt, have gotten a lot of attention from TikTokers. It's perfectly understandable, given how adorable the video is.

We are sure someone in Holywood is watching them and considering some major changes in the Fast&Furious franchise. Let's get to know these future stars a bit better:

Driver in training

Just look at them go

“Just what I needed to start the day!” - one delighted viewer said.

“Probably a better driver than I am,” someone said.

In a world that is so full of stress, clips like this can be relaxing for many of us. It is possible that watching cute, entertaining videos is beneficial to our health.

According to a 2020 study from the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, looking at photographs and videos of adorable animals can reduce our stress levels by 50%. Participants were required to watch a 30-minute montage of adorable animal photographs and videos as part of the story.

The majority of the attendees were university students who had exams 90 minutes after the event. The remainder were academic support employees who expressed work-related stress.

Participants' blood pressure and pulse rate were measured before and after the program was broadcast. As you might imagine, their anxiety levels decreased significantly, indicating that seeing beautiful animals can truly reduce stress and make us feel better.

“It was clear that students were anxious ahead of their exams, with heart rates and blood pressure for most participants mildly elevated before our session took place,” researchers note. “Indeed, in some individuals, heart rate and blood pressure were even higher indicating a higher level of stress for those participants."

Besides driving, Louie also enjoys going to the beach.

These two are best friends...

Now we learn shifting gears...

"True love and sunshine”

All that driving is exhausting. They need to rest a bit.

We're sure TikTokers were impressed by Nachos' apparent ability to navigate the Jeep all by himself, with comments like "That'd better be remote-controlled because ain't no way dude," and "Is he actually steering?" "Lol, omg, you're so cute."

Louie and Nachos prefer to relax at home when they're not out and about. Lucky for us, they also enjoy being filmed. 

Can't wait to see what's next.
