Introductions are almost always awkward. No matter how many times we practice in a mirror, there’s just no avoiding that embarrassing first impression. Luckily, these cuties have the sweetest, fuzziest faces to distract from any difficulties.

The folks over at BuzzFeed recently filmed the adorable interactions between a group of tiny kittens and puppies meeting each other for the first time. It does take a little bit for the tykes to warm up to each other, but their playful sides eventually outweigh any initial doubts.

It’s always so funny how the tiniest of kittens can intimidate their puppy pals. Don’t worry, guys, I’m sure you’ll all be besties in no time.
