We've been working on being gentle with cats. Our outdoor cat, Faucet, came up to them and head rubbed and purred at them. they didn't eat or otherwise maul him.

I dont have a cat but if I did, my picture would be a streak of brindle across the lens with Thalie sitting in the background, shaking her head.

Re: the cat who wanted to be friends.
my 2 ''older'' dogs have been accused of some very grave carnage [ decapitating her cat ] by a next-door neighbor, but both of them LOVE cats.
[i had actually brought my dogs in the house for fear of their safety because i heard the commotion that WAS the demise of the cat; the cat took on what sounded like a family of angry raccoons, but it might have been just one. horrendous fight went on over the course of 2 nights - so the cat went back for more - and 2nd night was endless, horrible sounding affair. and now my poor sweet puppies are accused of the worst crimes against catdom.]
edit: Sharon's post of the carnage question - which made me LOL! - also [unfortunately?] made me free-associate a bit. Sorry!

People like to make crappy assumptions about dogs, I've noticed. Here is some more cuteness.

Re: the cat who wanted to be friends.
I can add another facet to this... Hilde was visiting a relative's back yard a few months ago and had her first experience close to a cat. Her initial drive to chase and maul was subdued a little by my commands (and the leash), but she was still intensely curious. The cat seemed OK, just sitting... until Hilde's face got just close enough for a swipe of his paw. She got a single scratch, right on the eyeball. Luckily it was on the side, not near the lens. Vet said she was very lucky.

Aww, poor pup!
I used to have a Rottweiler named Hilde! We called her Hildy, though.

Re: the cat who wanted to be friends.
It's short for Brünnhilde (the name I use when she's being bad). This name was given when we rescued her and thought she was a GSD mixed with a tiger. Luckily, Hilde is a Dutch name, too! Like you, we pronounce it with a long E, just because it seems to suit her personality.
After some anti-bacterial cream, her eye is back to normal. That episode hasn't damped her curiosity at all!

aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww!
I wonder if they'll eventually imprint cat qualities? I've seen kittens act like dogs because the dogs were older, so they imprinted off them.

Re: the cat who wanted to be friends.
ok, after looking at Mobil and the cat - which indeed is very cute - there was a video that youtube offered entitled ''dog wants a kitty.'' it is a must-see for amusement purposes.
