It’s funny to me that cats and dogs really can be enemies for no real reason at all.
My wife’s old pets (a cat and a dog) have concerning levels of animosity toward one another. In all reality,the dog is rather dumb and curious and the cat is violently opposed to the very existence of said dog. When the dog wanders anywhere near, the cat will puff her hair up to the point that she simply looks like an oversized dust bunny. I wouldn’t find it all too intimidating but it seems to keep the dog in line.
Regardless, I simply wanted to share my accomplishment of bringing the two opposing pets together. Granted, any closer and the cat would have starred making funny noises, expanding and perhaps floating away looking like an overinflated balloon.
