Years ago there was an older dog lived near one of my cousins. This particular day he was attacked by a much larger aggressive dog, dobe x that had got out by accident. The older dog was coming off very much the worst. The noise had brought several neighbours out. Just out of nowhere the cat that lived with the older dog appeared. It lept onto the aggressors back & started to tear the dogs back & head with its claws. It made the dobex break off its attack. It was undoubtedly the actions of
the cat that saved the older dog.

What a lovely story

Its amazing the bond some animals have. To all intents & purposes there are the kittens & dogs here, yet if one of the kittens is out of sight for too long one of the dogs (99% of the time, Harvey) will go check where they are.

Katie does not bother that much & she was petrified of Tim when younger as he nipped & scratched a lot. I had got a collar for Tim but he got his foot stuck in under it so i sent away for a specially made one. It seemed better. Just in case he got out by accident. I was at work this particular day & mum said Katie kept coming up to her nosing her. Mum thought Katie just wanted fussed. After a bit Katie came to mum again & barked (Katie rarely barks) & ran into the living room. Mum followed & there was baby Tim with his foot/leg caught in the collar half strangled. The quick release catch hadnt worked! Nor could mum get it pulled open or released. She had to cut the collar off with scissors which was hard enough with a very frightened kitten. Ive never put a collar on him since that day.

I am fully convinced that cats and dogs can communicate with each other, and do work together. Usually this involves food in my house.

Moxie can nose open the trash can lid so the cats can fish out the old cat food cans for all to enjoy. Or Ninja can open the top cabinet to knock the treats out on the floor for all to enjoy. They are in cahoots! I tell ya!
