The cool thing about mammals is, they’re smart enough to adapt their behavior to different situations. So cats and dogs in the same household can become very close friends instead of mortal enemies.
We never had a cat and a dog at the same time. Our iguana and our dog instantly became friends, but I think that lizard thought he was a mammal. Animal interactions are always fascinating.
Anyway, it’s a cold, dreary, rainy evening–perfect for cuddling your cat. Even if you’re a dog.
Yes, our dog (the Aussie) and one of the stray cats that is staying here,
do this every day. They go inside the dog house when the weather is bad, but otherwise, cuddle on the deck, on a deck chair, on the yard- anywhere.
It’s funny how that works. I’ve seen dogs and cats that seemed quite close to one another, and others that would have nothing to do with one another.
