TYLER!!!!!!!! Don't eat Bobcat! Gentle! No bite!
|
|
|
Rusty worried that Tyler
would kill Bobcat, or bite him so hard he'd crack bones.
Look at this photo
are you scared for
the little cat underneath the huge German Shepherd?
I am!
|
|
|
But Bobcat commanded the mighty dog.
His claws made
quick darting stabs to warn Tyler of the limits of cat-dog
play.
Bobcat bit Tyler on his snout. He made swift cat "HISSSS!!!"
warnings to alert the dog when to back off.
Incredibly it worked. Bobcat ruled Tyler.
Tyler, because he is a German Shepherd Dog, wanted to be
commanded. He enjoyed Bobcat's calm leadership.
|
|
|
Bobcat enjoyed dog play. Several times a day he sought out
Tyler to engage in their interspecies friendship.
|
|
|
Bobcat could hide under stuff where Tyler couldn't fit.
|
|
|
Tyler learned not to lose
control chasing the cat in the house. That is because he was
a very well behaved young dog.
|
|
|
Tyler knew he had to be on
his best calm dog behavior in Rusty's bedroom.
"No chase
cat!"
had been permanently engraved in his dog brain.
|
|
|
Bobcat said
"Hey Tyler! Lets
go play in the packing room!"
Tyler thought that would be fun.
|
|
|
"Come on dog! Follow me!"
said Bobcat.
Tyler followed the scent of his cat pal.
|
|
|
Senior cat (5 years old) Dustball
watched the cat-dog play
but was content to be aloof. She was happy sitting next to
Rusty's computer instead of fending off a giant dog.
|
|
|
Rusty brought his camera to the packing room to see what the
dog & cat were up to.

|
Rusty was glad Tyler had a good cat friend.
|
|
|
Tyler was glad he had a good cat friend, too.
|
|
|
"Don't show me those teeth!"
warned Bobcat.
|
|
|
Interspecies love drove both cat and dog into a state of
"play bliss".
|
|
|
Bobcat took a moment to clean himself. One of Rusty's
favorite thing about cats was that they were always as clean
as cloths right out of the dryer.
"Cat smell good!"
Rusty often said.
Tyler thought in his dog brain
"Cat smell good!"
So it was unanimous that cats smelled good!
