Swarm of puppies overwhelm resident cat (video)

This is a cute video, although the cat was totally overwhelmed by this gang of puppies who appear to have been brought to the cat's home for the first time. They immediately raced out of the carrier and swarmed all over the cat who was forced to escape. It's quite cute as I mentioned but, in some ways, I feel sorry for the cat. The big question is why were these puppies so eager to meet the resident cat? I can think of two possible reasons.

Firstly, they have been socialised with domestic cats when they were raised by the dog breeder. They learned to like cats and when they were removed from the breeder's home, they developed an urge to meet a cat again. As soon as they saw the resident cat in this home, they dived at him/her to say hello.

Another possibility is that they had never seen a cat before and wanted to explore! That would seem to be unlikely but just about possible. Whatever the reason, it's an interesting little video which shows curious puppies overwhelming a resident cat who uses her athleticism to vault over a gate to get away.
