psyco_chick32 wrote her amusing feline anecdote, I thought I'd write my own from yesterday.
As I said before, I'm staying with my parents and my sister is backpacking through South America. Therefore, her animals, a dog and a cat, are being pet-sat by my parents, too. Her cat is not the biggest fan of dogs, and there are currently 5 in this house.
My sister's cat is pretty big, probably about 15 pounds. My puppy is about 10. Both the puppy and the cat have shown curiosity towards one another, so I've been trying to broker a friendship between the two. I let the puppy in the kitty area of the house where they stand and stare at one another until the kitty gets bored.
Well, two days ago, there was major progress and they got so close they touched noses and there were no growling noises or posturing from either of the animals. I figured they're on their way to being, if not buddies, at least tolerant of the other.
So, yesterday, I put them in the same area. Same deal. They sniff each other's noses. Then, the kitty gets all coy and rolls onto her back. My puppy knows that this isn't doggie submission, so he approaches her cautiously. She reaches up with a paw and *baps* him playfully and lightly on the nose.
I thought it was adorable.
My puppy gets closer. She rolls onto her tummy and reaches up and *baps* him on the nose again.
*bap*
*Bap*
*Bap*
*BAP*
*BAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAP!*
*HISS*
And... playtime was over. I got the puppy out before she hurt him. Because, yeah, in a fight, the kitty would kick my puppy's ass.
