This is the tense moment a cat has to box its way out of trouble during a bathroom bout with a German Shepherd.
With a series of lightning-quick jabs the ferocious feline successfully bats back the dog.
It was playtime for the pets at a house in an unknown location, but believed to be North America.
This is the tense moment a cat has to box its way out of trouble during a bathroom bout with a German Shepherd
Their owner filmed the two fighting as the feline feinted during the fisticuffs before landing a few blows on the dog's nose.
'She's not nice' said the camerawoman as her German Shepherd woofed in disappointment.
While the dog just wanted the play, the cat appeared to be in no mood to fight.
The video has sparked a heated debate on social media, where the video has over 8.6 million views and more than 170,000 shares.
Viewers are split between whether the owner was right to let the battle continue, or if it shows a case of animal cruelty.

Tom Farley III wrote: 'Not 'cute' at all. The owner is sadistic for letting this continue and for videoing the incident.'
But Jay Martin responded: 'You realize they are playing, and cats love to box. That cat could leave anytime she wanted, as well as the dog.'
And Dalton Barry added: 'Oh you people are nuts, you should just get over yourselves. It's animals, it's not like your cat or dog hasn't fought before?'
Yet Cheryl Palmieri Reigle argued: 'Not funny. The dog probably just wants to play. Cat is hissing with laid back ears and is basically feeling trapped.'
The original footage was believed to have been uploaded by user 'E Cro' on YouTube back in April 2016.
