Tom loses it


Tom is a very laid back chap and at the moment we have my parents Papillon staying with us.
He's always trying to get Tom to play by walking by him with a toy in his mouth, he then tries to get Tom to take the toy from his mouth like another Dog would.
He also tries to wash Tom's face.
Tom takes all this in good humour usualy.
However just now Tom came into the living room in a bad mood, everytime Reuben went past him he took a swipe, silly Dog interpreted this as an invitation to play and went closer and closer untill Tom rolled onto his back in the hopes of wrapping the Dog in a loving embrace (NOT)
Pleased to say Reuben decided discretion was the better part of honour and left him alone.

LOL, cats do not understand dogs body language, do they? Hope the little dog is OK, and bet he won't do that again!

Re: Tom loses it


i dont have a dog now... but i remember having them as kids... and they can be so gullible when it comes to cats and playing... they always looked like their feelings had been hurt when the cat/s decided that they'd had enough and brought an end to the play... but like you said Shelly... they have such short memories!

Re: Tom loses it


Whenever my dog comes to me for attention the cat always jumps out behind the sofa claws out grabs his snout my dog yelps then runs off but then Felix runs up to him and carries on hitting him across the snout until I intervene
Poor dog he is a lot bigger than Felix but is still scared of him

I love watching the dynamic between cats and dogs - a friend got a labrador puppy to go with her really old tom cat and the scenes played out between the two of them had us in stitches for weeks. The cat was SO put out, but was a real gent on the whole
