They don’t always hit it off right away, do they? The puppy wants to play; the cat would prefer to evaluate the situation. It must be fun to watch their interactions develop over time. I mean, they’ve gotta get along better than my two cats do with each other…
Some of these cats are a lot bigger than the puppies lol The cat who pushed the puppy’s head down was hilarious! But I sure can’t imagine what would possess someone to put an excited puppy into an area fenced in with an obviously more sedate cat. Adorable
Many cats seem to act is if dogs were beneath their dignity. Both are playful animals, but cats seem a bit more reserved.
I once had a cat that would wrestle with a friend’s Pomeranian. They had all,but grown up together and both of them enjoyed it. Then I got a second cat, who would watch in dismay and alert me to the travesty against decency happening right before her eyes. She couldn’t believe that a cat would ever co sent to play with a dog, and expected me to intervene. It was pretty funny.
But it just isn’t done–!
Not in polite society. 🙂
One Christmas Eve we kept the neighbor’s gift to their daughter, a kitten. We had to block off in the kitchen because our Pomeranian was going nuts over it – but it all worked out and everyone was happy.
