Dutch Shepherd Forum

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.

oh, now that is too stinkin cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont care what the monthly theme is, this needs to be in the corner!

maybe Eric will do a ''cats AND dogs'' contest. would love to see that month. i know a lot of people here have possible entries.

very cute.

That is a great idea!!!!!!!!! There are alot of people with cats.

Oh, I'd love to see everyone's cats with their dogs. Post them, everyone!

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.

Would we post pictures of carnage, too?

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!

Im so sorry John that they were accused of such a horrible thing.

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

oh that is too cute.

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.

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!

This might be the cutest thing ever. I might be biased.

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.

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.

Awwwww............ super cute!! Sweet puppies and kitty!

Mobil had a snuggle with Faucet today.

Also, here's my little Turbo after crazy hour today, just because:
