<p>Actually, I'm not going to write much, I really just wanted to
display these pictures of a <a href="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/pets/Sidious/">dog</a>
watching a <a href="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/pets/Padme/">cat</a> chase after
something under a bookcase.</p>

Cats meet doghttp://journal.richard.levitte.org/entries/cats-meet-dog/2010-07-19T07:42:11Z2010-05-20T13:11:06Z
<p><a href="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/entries/three-kittens/">The cats</a> had met him
before, this <a href=
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffon%20Bruxellois">Griffon
Bruxellois</a>... him spending the afternoon, evening, night and
morning here was, however, a bit new. Before, he had only spent two
or three of hours here at most.</p>
<p>This was a bit of an experiment, but I wasn't worried, I knew
that this dog had lived with cats before, and <a href=
"http://journal.richard.levitte.org/people/AnL/" rel='friend kin ex-sweetheart met'>his owner</a> was
used to both dogs and cats, and these cats aren't scared of
much.</p>
<p>The first few hours, the dog was in a leash, so the cats had a
chance to get used to him without him running after them. After
trying to engage them into play with a few small barks, the dog
eventually tired of it all and just lay down resting. Ever so
slowly, the cats would approach him, sniff the air around him and
sniffing him.</p>
<p>There were moments, like when <a href="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/pets/Padme/">Padmé</a>
came nose to nose with the dog and the dog tried to engage in play,
and <a href="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/pets/Padme/">Padmé</a> just sat there, not quite
knowing what to do with this weird creature, but not running away
either. Or when <a href="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/pets/Padme/">Padmé</a> and the dog came
nose to nose, seriously checking each other out. Or when the dog
slept on the bed and <a href="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/pets/Sirius/">Sirius</a> was on the
bedroom windowsill, calmly observing. Or when, in the morning, I
was petting <a href="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/pets/Padme/">Padmé</a> and the dog was
sniffing her butt the way dogs do, and she was just calmly purring
away.</p>
<p>For a first experiment of this sort, I think it was mightily
successful <img src="http://journal.richard.levitte.org/smileys/smile.png" alt=":-)" /> ... gotta love this kitties for their calm and for
their social skills, be it with humans or other animals.</p>
