This is the amusing moment a pack of affectionate puppies was seen pestering a visibly irritated cat.

Footage shows a group of Bernese Mountain Dog pups following and sniffing the golden British Shorthair inside a living room in Liaoning, China.

The feline gently pawed at the excitable puppies before walking away, but the lively dogs continued to chase after it on September 7.

Moments later, their owner tried to call the cat, extending her hand.

This prompted the feline to finally break free from the playful canines, swatting and biting at their ears.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are known for being gentle, friendly, affectionate, good with families, children, and other pets.

They tend to be calm indoors but need moderate exercise such as daily walks, play, or activities like cart-pulling, hiking, or gentle work.
