Cats and Dogs
How to make
and
get along?
According to a 2005 Slate article
There is a Punch-and-Judy aspect to many dog-and-cat encounters. A dog indicates it wants to play with a cat by literally getting in its face; the cat responds with a swat to the snout. If you’ve ever sat through a Punch-and-Judy show, it feels like it lasts for years, but these dog-and-cat shows often actually do.
That is exactly what Simon and Bram did yesterday. Over and over! It was like Simon wanted to get hit. But maybe the trick is just to make him super tired before his playdates with Bram, because:
Sometimes the dog acts brutish to the cat all day, then insists on cuddling up with it at night—think of this as Stanley Kowalski syndrome.
So maybe someday
