I wonder why my dawg gets along just fine with our house crats,but chases and tries to kill/shred/excoriate neighborhood crats.
Awhile back I posted that my dawg tried to pull a crat thru a 2"X2" opening in the chain link fence that seperates me from the neighbors.Now that was an attention getter.
Last night around dark,I took both dawgs out the backdoor to the yard to do their 'business'.About four steps away is a gate in my privacy fence.There is a 4" gap at the bottom that tapers to almost 2".
A Yellow Tabby had been raiding a trash bag that was sitting on the Patio.It ran and made it ALMOST all the way thru the gap.
My dawg Windy caught it by one of it's hind legs and proceeded to drag it back in the yard.Somehow the crat managed to get down to where the opening was 2".Said crat cut my dawgs nose with its other hind foot and Windy let it go.
When we went back into the house,my white cat,Waylan,was rubbing all over Windy.Windy just layed there,lickin' her sore nose.
I guess dawgs don't hold grudges like we humans do.

PT you don't mean like, like,......... Waylon & Willie?

Our oldest dawg,12 years old,is named Willie.
But the other half wanted to spell the crats name Waylan,not Waylon.
Don't ask me.

P.T.

Dogs have a very real and well developed sense of property rights.

As an example a free roaming dog will always prefer to do his business on your neighbors lawn.

Your cats belong on your property. Trespassing cats do not.

My daughter lives next to a crazy old lady who used to collect cats. There is a vine covered fence between their backyards. Cats used to come through a hole in the fence and around the corner of my daughter's garage. There lay Reyna, a 140 rotweiller. Dead cat. My daughter's cat had free rein of the yard and outlived Reyna.
